Laparoscopic Management of Gallbladder Duplication: A Case Report
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become one of the most commonly performed abdominal surgeries worldwide. Several anatomic variations and congenital malformations in the gallbladder and biliary anatomy have been described. We reported the case of a middle-aged woman who presented with jaundice and a...

description | Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become one of the most commonly performed abdominal surgeries worldwide. Several anatomic variations and congenital malformations in the gallbladder and biliary anatomy have been described. We reported the case of a middle-aged woman who presented with jaundice and abdominal pain. Her laboratory investigations revealed an elevated bilirubin level (mainly the direct component). The patient showed an improvement in the clinical and laboratory parameters after conservative management. Then, the patient was prepared for a laparoscopic cholecystectomy which revealed a duplication of the gallbladder with two distinct cystic ducts draining independently to the common bile duct. The procedure was completed uneventfully. This type of gallbladder duplication is among the least common types. The case highlights the importance of having a meticulous intraoperative evaluation of the biliary anatomy to avoid potential complications and injuries. |
