Abstract

We describe our experience with a 69-year-old gentleman who presented with phlegmonous acute cholecystitis affecting a left-sided gallbladder. The cholecystectomy was successfully completed by a total laparoscopic approach. Through this Case report we highlight the possibility of occurrence of such an entity (true left-sided gallbladder), the risks entailed, and to stress the need to abandon surgical hubris in favour of wisdom in the interest of patient safety should the situation appear unclear and overtly challenging to the surgeon.
