BMJ Case Rep. 2018 Feb 11:2018:bcr2017222783. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2017-222783.

Abstract

Bilobed gallbladder is a rare form of duplication of gallbladder. Preoperative diagnosis is important to avoid peroperative complications; however, it is also a challenge as imaging reports are often confounding. A case of bilobed gallbladder managed successfully laparoscopically is presented.

Keywords: biliary intervention; gastroenterology; general surgery; pancreas and biliary tract; surgery.
