description BACKGROUND: Volvulus of the gallbladder is an unusual event. Over 300 cases have appeared in the literature since first reported by Wendel in 1898,(1) ranging in age from 2 to 100 years old. Unusual mobility of the gallbladder due to congenital anomalies is a constant factor in all occurrences. CASE REPORT: This is a report of a laparoscopic cholecystectomy in an 82-year-old white female with volvulus of the gallbladder presenting with a chief complaint of chest pain. CONCLUSION: The patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged within 72 hours after surgery, indicating that with the proper technique laparoscopic cholecystectomy is both feasible and safe in gallbladder volvulus.
