ABSTRACT=<p>Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard treatment for cholelithiasis. A very rare condition named situs inversus should not be considered as a contraindication for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

We also described the technical advantages of this treatment and reviewed the literature.</p>
