Double Cystic Ducts Encountered During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in a Male Patient With Cholelithiasis: A Case Report.
Curēus 2024 Februrary
One of the most uncommon cystic duct abnormalities is double cystic ducts exiting a single gallbladder. Adequate knowledge of this anomaly should be kept in mind to avoid any surgical complications. We present a case of a 49-year-old Asian Pakistani male patient who had an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy and was discovered to have two distinct cystic ducts leaving the gallbladder. On examination, there were no other clinically relevant signs except for mild tenderness in the right hypochondrium. Ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis confirmed the diagnosis of cholelithiasis. Standard four-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy was done via the open Hasson technique under general anesthesia. After meticulous dissection of the Calot's triangle, double cystic ducts were discovered draining a single gallbladder. The gallbladder was retrieved after clipping and cutting the cystic ducts and cystic artery. To minimize the risk of complications, surgeons must be aware of the numerous anatomical variations that may exist.
