“…In laparoscopic procedures, careful consideration of trocar positioning is necessary [ 7 ]. However, for right-handed surgeons, this can cause some difficulties: it can be uncomfortable to handle the instruments with their left hand or the pedals with their left foot [ 8 ]. Therefore, the most important factor is the careful exploration of anatomical variations—especially the vascular anomalies that often occur—by using preoperative imaging techniques.…”

Double rarity: malignant masquerade biliary stricture in a situs inversus totalis patient

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Situs inversus totalis is a rare anatomical variation of both the thoracic and the abdominal organs. Common bile duct strictures can be caused by malignant and benign diseases as well. 7–18% of the latter ones are 'malignant masquerade’ cases, as pre-operative differentiation is difficult. Case presentation We present the case of a 68y male patient with known situs inversus totalis and a recent onset of obstructive jaundice caused by a malignant behaving common bile duct stricture. Technically difficult endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, brush cytology, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, endoscopic ultrasound, and percutaneous transhepatic drainage with stent implantation were performed for proper diagnosis. Cholecystectomy, common bile duct resection with hilar lymphadenectomy, and hepatico-jejunostomy have been performed following multidisciplinary consultation. The final histology report did not confirm any clear malignancy, the patient is doing well. Conclusion In situs inversus patients, both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures can lead to various difficulties. Benign biliary strictures are frequently misdiagnosed preoperatively as cholangiocellular carcinoma. Surgery is usually unavoidable, involving a significant risk of complications. The co-existence of these two difficult diagnostic and therapeutic features made our case challenging.

Kartagener syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive condition. Approximately 25% of those with situs inversus totalis suffer the syndrome. With the rising overall number and indications for bariatric surgery, this condition will be increasingly recognised. We present a case of a 25-year-old woman with SIT and Kartagener syndrome who underwent a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. As with all bariatric surgery, a multidisciplinary team approach was important in managing such a case. There were considerable cognitive challenges for the surgical team both preoperatively and during the procedure. The patient tolerated the operation well and was discharged 2 days after the surgery. At 12-months follow-up, the patient had achieved 125% excess weight loss. This case illustrates that an experienced surgeon can safely perform a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on a patient with situs inversus totalis.
