Woman with inverted organs 1st to undergo single-incision gallbladder surgery

A 46-year-old woman with inverted organs has got a new lease of life after doctors here conducted a successful laparoscopic gallbladder surgery via a single incision (one-port), instead of the conventional four ports. This is the first time such a successful surgery for gallbladder has been performed through one port in India and only the third such surgery performed in the world as per the available medical literature. The woman, hailing from Karnal in Haryana, had a rare congenital condition where her abdominal organs were translocated in the reverse positions known as Situs Inversus (the right-side organs on the left and left side organs on the right). Situs Inversus leads to difficulties in diagnosis and surgical treatment of abdominal conditions demanding more skill and preparation on the part of the surgeon. Laparoscopic removal of the gallbladder is conventionally performed with 4 cuts (ports). In this case, they removed the gallbladder with a single port laparoscopic surgery which is their preferred method with experience of thousands of such surgeries leading to good recovery - lesser pain, scarring and morbidity. Performing laparoscopic surgery for mirror-image anatomy is rare and a challenging process, owing to reverse placing of instruments, orientation and dissection during the procedure for a right-handed surgeon. This gets all the more difficult when a single incision surgery where only one cut is made, and the instruments are closer to each other than conventional 4 port surgery.
