A Detached Gallbladder Situated Below the Transverse Colon : A Case Report of an Unusual Position

Copyright © 2023, Abulfaraj et al..

This report presents an unforeseen event involving the detachment of the gallbladder without any traumatic cause, which was incidentally detected during a scheduled laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure. The incidence of total congenital gallbladder detachment from the liver is quite uncommon. The primary difficulty encountered in patients afflicted with this particular medical issue pertains to the intraoperative identification and localization of the gallbladder. The significance of this case report lies in its presentation of a groundbreaking finding that has the potential to provide challenges for surgeons doing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a commonly performed surgical procedure.
