We present a 76-year-old man who underwent interval laparoscopic cholecystectomy after previous conservative management of acute cholecystitis. Retrograde dissection of gallbladder was performed due to difficult access. Gallbladder was opened at Hartman\u2019s pouch which revealed two bile-flowing structures. Cholangiogram was only successful via one of the ducts with no evidence of leak. Subtotal cholecystectomy was performed after consultation with a Hepatobiliary surgeon. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) were reviewed which revealed duplicated gallbladder. CT cholangiogram was performed post-operatively, confirming two separate cystic ducts. Our case emphasizes that anatomical anomalies can still be unappreciated despite having high-resolution CT and MRCP preoperatively, which poses increased risk of biliary tree injury. Routine intraoperative cholangiogram will help avoid bile duct injuries. Literature advises that both gallbladders should be removed to avoid relapse of gallbladder disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjab633","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,24]],"date-time":"2021-12-24T12:07:06Z","timestamp":1640347626000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Duplicated gallbladder with double cystic duct: hidden in plain sight"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2022","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7841-595X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei S","family":"Poh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, St John of God Midland Hospital, Midland WA, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tulsi","family":"Menon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, St John of God Midland Hospital, Midland WA, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ruwan","family":"Wijesuriya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, St John of God Midland Hospital, Midland WA, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Philip","family":"Misur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, St John of God Midland Hospital, Midland WA, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022013123281814800_ref1","first-page":"109","article-title":"Twenty years of laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Philippe Mouret--march 17, 1987","volume":"12","author":"Polychronidis","year":"2008","journal-title":"JSLS: Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons"},{"key":"2022013123281814800_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"78","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2019.02.030","article-title":"Case report of a duplicated cystic duct: a unique challenge for the laparoscopic surgeon","volume":"56","author":"Munie","year":"2019","journal-title":"Int J Surg Case Rep"},{"key":"2022013123281814800_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"502","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2017.11.046","article-title":"Laparoscopic double cholecystectomy for duplicated gallbladder: a case report","volume":"41","author":"Musleh","year":"2017","journal-title":"Int J Surg Case Rep"},{"key":"2022013123281814800_ref4","first-page":"249","article-title":"Laparoscopic management of double gallbladder diagnosed intraoperatively: a case report and review of literature = Laparaskopska obravnava podvojenega zolcnika, odkritega med operacijo: prikaz primera in pregled literature","volume":"87","author":"Kokalj","year":"2018","journal-title":"Zdrav Vestn"},{"key":"2022013123281814800_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"240","DOI":"10.5604\/01.3001.0012.7932","article-title":"A duplicated gallbladder in a patient presenting with acute cholangitis.
