“…Our literature review found a total of 10 cases of donor nephrectomy in individuals with SIT [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] (Table 1). These cases were reported in eight different studies, with the first one being published by Black et al in 2003 [13].…”

Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital condition where the organs of the thorax and abdomen are arranged in a mirror image reversal of their normal position. Patients with SIT present unique challenges in surgical procedures, particularly in laparoscopic surgeries, due to the need to reverse the operator's perspective, technical difficulty in handling the instruments, anatomical variations, and an increased risk of intraoperative complications. In this case report, we present the first case in the English literature of a 49-year-old Arabic male patient with SIT who underwent a successful right laparoendoscopic single-site surgery donor nephrectomy. We described the surgical technique used and highlighted the key challenges faced and overcome during the procedure.

Situs inversus totalis is a rare congenital abnormality characterized by a mirror-image transposition of both the abdominal and the thoracic organs. While this anomaly is known since the ancient times, practicing doctors do not have much experience with it. Laterality is established early in development, and any failure in that process might lead to a wide variety of disorders which may be partial or complete. Situs solitus describes the normal anatomy, situs inversus is the complete reversal, and situs ambiguous is used for any other abnormality of left-right development. Sidedness is regulated by genes: over 100 genes have been linked to laterality defects. Frequency of situs inversus is 1:10,000 and is more frequent in males: 1.5:1. Advanced imaging modalities can be used to assess fine anatomical details, which play a crucial role in these cases to plan radiologic or surgical interventions. Percutaneous biliary procedures, portal vein embolization are really challenging procedures in SIT patients due to the mirror effect. As most surgeons are right-handed, SIT operations can cause difficulties: handling the instruments with their left hand or the pedals with their left foot can be uncomfortable Organ, especially liver transplantation represents an extraordinary surgical challenge. Solutions to overcome the anatomic differences include the use of segment or reduced size graft with rotation, modified piggy-back technique, side to-side caval anastomosis, and vascular conduit. Because of its rarity and special nature, surgical patients with situs inversus may require more flexibility and creativity from the surgical team.

Specificities of transplantation of kidneys procured from donors with situs inversus totalis: A case report and review of the literature

Abstract: In donors with previously di- agnosed SIT the multidisciplinary approach, preoperative evaluation of the patient and detection of possible vascular anomalies are required to provide maximum safety for the donor.
