| Abstract [eng] |
Background A case report presents a patient with a rare surgical pathology – gallbladder volvulus. Case report A female patient presented at the hospital under suspicion of appendicitis. Because of undefined diagnosis the patient was examined. The progress of peritonitis determined her preoperational preparation and surgical intervention. The gallbladder twisted around its axis and gangrened was found during the procedure. The bile duct was found unaltered. Cholecystectomy was performed and the gallbladder pedicle was stitched and the subhepatic gap drenated. The postoperative course was uneventful. Pathistological examination showed acute hemorrhagic infarct in the gallbladder wall. Conclusion Despite an uncommon pathology hard for diagnoses, timely operative intervention provided for the convalescence of the patient. |
