Summary
Abnormal position of the gallbladder seems to be rare, but knowledge about the varieties helps to avoid intraoperative complications regarding the spreading procedure of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In the reported case the gallbladder was found in the lower right abdomen fixed by adhesions to the jejunum. Embryological aspects are discussed and a literature review is given.
Zusammenfassung
Die Gallenblasendystopie gehört zu den Raritäten im chirurgischen Krankengut. Daher können Kenntnisse über die mögliche dystope Lage dieses Organs intraoperative Komplikationen, insbesondere im Hinblick auf das sich zunehmend etablierende Verfahren der laparoskopischen Cholezystektomie, vermeiden helfen. Erstmals wird über einen Fall einer außergewöhnlichen Lage der Gallenblase im rechten Unterbauch mit Fixierung an einer Jejunumschlinge berichtet. Neben einer Literaturübersicht werden die embryologischen Aspekte dieser Fehllage diskutiert.
