Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard approach to manage symptomatic gallbladder stones. However, only twelve patients with total situs invertus have been previously reported in the literature. We report a new case of a 58-year-old patient hospitalized for acute pain of the left hypochondrium with fever. The diagnosis of acute cholecystitis with situs inversus totalis was made following clinical examination and radiological investigations. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was subsequently performed through a modification of the technique to adapt to the mirror image anatomy.
