A double gallbladder with a common bile duct stone treated by laparoscopy accompanied by choledochoscopy via the cystic duct: A case report
2016
: A double gallbladder is a rare congenital malformation. The present study describes a case of double gallbladder with secondary common bile duct stones. By way of laparoscopic choledochoscopy, the exploration and removal of a common bile duct stone was performed through the cystic duct. The process involved a primary suture of the cystic duct and was performed without using a T-tube, and completed a surgical removal of the gallbladder. The present case was successfully treated by laparoscopic surgery. From a review of previous studies published in the English language, this study, to the best of our knowledge, is the first report of such a case. Therefore, laparoscopic dissection is safe for the removal of a double gallbladder and for exploration of the common duct by choledochoscopy.
