It presents a unique challenge for surgeons due to its infrequency and the potential for perioperative complications. Anatomical variations, including the presence of the subvesicle duct of Luschka, should be suspected in these cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In our case report, we present the clinical details of a **23-year-old male** who presented with symptoms of acute cholecystitis and cholangitis. Preoperative imaging revealed a bilobed gallbladder, and incidentally, intraoperative evidence of the subvesicle duct\/duct of Luschka was also observed during a successful laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Importantly, the patient experienced no postoperative complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case highlights considering bilobed gallbladder as a differential diagnosis in patients with cholecystitis or cholangitis is crucial. Surgeons should be vigilant about this anomaly when evaluating patients with gallbladder-related symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We understand precise imaging plays a pivotal role in guiding surgical planning. Detecting bilobed gallbladder preoperatively allows for better assessment of biliary structures and helps prevent bile leaks during surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>Although rare, awareness of bilobed gallbladder and its associated anatomical variants is essential for optimal patient management and successful surgical outcomes.
