| Core Tip |
Situs inversus totalis is a rare anatomical condition that presents unique diagnostic and technical challenges during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This case series emphasizes the importance of thorough preoperative imaging to clearly define biliary anatomy and identify any associated anomalies. It also highlights the need for careful adaptation of surgical technique, including mirror-image port placement and ergonomic adjustments by the surgical team. Strict adherence to the critical view of safety remains essential to minimize the risk of bile duct injury and to ensure safe, effective, and reproducible surgical outcomes. |
