Our experience with surgery in situs inversus: Open peptic perforation repair and laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 1 patient and 3 patients respectively
Surgical diagnosis of conditions causing acute abdominal pain in situs inversus is complicated by the mirror image anatomy. Chest X-ray and Ultrasonography abdomen can be helpful in diagnosing this condition. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in situs inversus is problematic for right handed surgeons. We describe a modified 4 port configuration where right handed surgeons can use the left mid-clavicular port for dissection.
