Summary:Highlights • Surgical diagnosis of conditions causing acute abdominal pain in situs inversus is complicated by the mirror image anatomy. • Chest X-ray and Ultrasonography abdomen can be helpful in diagnosing this condition. • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in situs inversus is problematic for right handed surgeons. • We describe a modified 4 port configuration where right handed surgeons can use the left mid-clavicular port for dissection.
