Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for double gallbladder

Abstract

Gallbladder duplication is a rare abnormality of the biliary system. When a pathology develops in a doubled gallbladder, there can be difficulties in diagnosis and surgical treatment. Apart from the ultrasound investigation, other imaging methods are of great importance for more accurate diagnostics: computed tomography, magnetic resonance tomography, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic ultrasonography. The article presents a literature review and demonstrates our own clinical case of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the patient with gallbladder duplication.
