A left-sided gallbladder is a rarely seen anomaly of gallbladder. The location is on the left side of the round ligament. This anatomic anomaly may mostly diagnose intraoperatively. We report on a case of left-sided gallbladder discovered incidentally during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and the preoperative ultrasonography, computed tomography and MR could not detect the anatomic variation obviously. When you diagnose this anomaly intraoperatively, you may need to reposition the trocars and also should be careful about anatomic variations of biliary system. We try to discuss to find out the best approach to perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy and avoid any iatrogenic injury in case of left sided located gallbladder diagnosed intraoperatively.
