Abstract:

A left lobe based Gallbladder is a rare occurrence of which not many cases have been documented in literature.
Most apparently left sided Gallbladders appear so due to a right sided Falciform ligament. True left sided Gallbladders, with gallbladder fossa in left lobe of Liver are uncommon.
In laparoscopic surgery it may cause difficulty for operating surgeon as Gallbladder is in an unusual location and it might also be associated with other anatomical abnormalities.
Here we present a case of a 60-year-old male patient who was operated for symptomatic cholelithiasis and a left lobe based gallbladder was detected intraoperatively.
