The left sided gallbladder was unexpectedly discovered as an intra-operative finding. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was carried out using our usual trocar set-up without the need of intra-operative cholangiography or conversion to open.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>LSG is reported to be associated with a higher risk of intraoperative bile duct injuries (up to 7.3%) due to anomalies of the bile duct, portal vein, and other structures.
