“…Since its initial description in 1898, 1 over 500 cases of gallbladder torsion have been reported. 2 Torsion of the gallbladder is an important differential in the acute surgical abdomen, which may incur significant morbidity if it is not recognized. The frequency of this condition has been observed to increase with age and peaks in subjects aged 60-80 years.…”

“…Considering torsion of CA, it was initially reported in 1898. There are almost 500 cases have been acknowledged inside the literary works, and many of them were diagnosed throughout the surgical procedure [32]. The ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have already been stated to be helpful for proper diagnosis of gallbladder torsion such as twisting of the pedicle of the cystic duct and gallbladder mesentery designated as "whirl sign" [33].…”

Variety of twisted CA by 3D CT, angiography signifies unique and primary verification with this concern that enables definitive medical diagnosis and obviates the entire overall performance of other assessments [32]. Whenever a patient is assumed of owning torsion with the gallbladder, 3D-CT angiography ought to be carried out for making an earlier significant and exact diagnosis [32].…”

Substantial knowledge of the arterial supply and its anatomical variations of the gall bladder and liver are important in all the hepatobiliary surgical procedures. The arterial supply of gallbladder called cystic artery (CA) is a vital structure required to get ligated or clipped in the path of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The possible concerns like intra-operative bleeding or adjoining accidental injuries will almost always be focused on the research consisting of dissection and clipping with cystic artery. Pseudoaneurysm of the cystic artery has additionally been belonging to the presence of acute cholecystitis or pancreatitis. An original supply of CA is usually assessed depending on the existence of hepatic artery variants. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is really a recent and arduous noninvasive procedure and might even result in substantial unintended effects possibly iatrogenic or in the form of post-procedural complications. The perfect knowledge of anatomy in addition to feasible variation of cystic artery is mandatory. An efficient operative strategy and consciousness are probably the key components with all the results and marginal likelihood of complications, which often can be ultimately attainable. Within this chapter, we have attempted to explore some variations of cystic artery, complications and management.

“…Torsion of the gallbladder is a rare entity with approximately 500 cases reported in the literature since its first description by Wendel in 1898. It primarily affects elderly women between their sixth and eighth decades of life, though it has been reported in patients anywhere between the ages of 5 days and 100 years .…”

“…Diagnosis of gallbladder torsion most often occurs at the time of operation and preoperative diagnosis is rare . Ten cases of preoperative diagnosis with CT of gallbladder torsion have been reported in the literature with at least three cases utilizing additional imaging modalities to establish the diagnosis. The patient in the current report was correctly diagnosed preoperatively on CT scanning shortly after admission.…”
