Description
Summary:Gallbladder duplication is a rare anomaly and bilobed gall bladder is an extremely rare entity. Duplicate gallbladder is an congenital defect, results from abnormal embryogenesis during the fifth and sixth weeks of gestation. Diagnosis of such a patient may be difficult pre-operatively. Identification of such anomalies can avoid biliary injuries and other complications during laparoscopic procedures being done on the gall bladder. We present a case of bilobed gall bladder that was diagnosed and managed intra-operatively.
