Abstract
A case report of the successful management of a patient with situs inv ersus viscerum and symptomatic choledocholithiasis and cholangitis is presented. The preoperative evaluation of the choledochus via ERCP and successful common bile duct stone extraction enabled successful lapar oscopic cholecystectomy. The anatomic challenge of situs inversus visc erum mandates the selective use of intraoperative cholangiography duri ng and upon completion of the laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
