Abstract
Saint's triade of hiatus hernia, colonic diverticula, and cholelithias is presenting with volvulus of the gallbladder is a unique occurrence. Possible etiology of volvulus of the gallbladder involves kyphosis, v iceroptosis, cholelithiasis, and in this case adhesive bands. Laparosc opic decompression of the gallbladder, division of the adhesive bands, detorsion of the volvulus, and finally laparoscopic cholecystectomy s uccessfully resolved this uncommon clinical problem. We describe a cas e and review the literature.
