Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare autosomal recessive entity defined as the transposition of thoracic and intraabdominal organs forming a mirror image to the normal anatomy. Laparoscopic procedures are technically more challenging for the surgeons in case of SIT. We hereby report two cases of successful laparoscopic gastric sleeve in SIT patients.

Kartagener syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive condition. Approximately 25% of those withsitus inversus totalissuffer the syndrome. With the rising overall number and indications for bariatric surgery, this condition will be increasingly recognised. We present a case of a 25-year-old woman withSITand Kartagener syndrome who underwent a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. As with all bariatric surgery, a multidisciplinary team approach was important in managing such a case. There were considerable cognitive challenges for the surgical team both preoperatively and during the procedure. The patient tolerated the operation well and was discharged 2 days after the surgery. At 12-months follow-up, the patient had achieved 125% excess weight loss. This case illustrates that an experienced surgeon can safely perform a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on a patient withsitus inversus totalis.
