Abstract: Situs inversus totalis is a rare congenital disorder occurring in 0.01% of the population. It is characterized by the transposition of the major thoracic organs and all the visceral organs of the abdomen to the side opposite to normal position in the body. The liver and gall bladder are located on the left, while the stomach and the spleen are on the right. We report the first case of a successful laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a male patient with situs inversus totalis with HBsAg positive status in our hospital.
