Laparoscopic simple nephrectomy patient wıth situs inversus totalis and left renal hypoplasia: A case report

Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a relatively rare anatomical condition characterized by the transposition of thoracic and abdominal organs from the normal side to the opposite position. Most reports of laparoscopic procedures in patients with SIT cite technical difficulties and longer operative times due to disorientation because of the reversed abdominal organs and necessary modification of the surgeon’s movements and techniques. We present a case of a patient with SIT in whom a transperitoneal laparoscopic simple nephrectomy was performed.

Situs inversus totalis is a rare, congenital condition that is characterized by the development of the thoracic and abdominal viscera in a mirror image to their normal orientation. This case report describes the condition in a 4-year-old, spayed female Doberman pinscher that was evaluated for dyspnea following sedation. Radiography confirmed a diaphragmatic hernia. Situs inversus was discovered during surgical correction. The diaphragmatic rent was repaired, and the dog was clinically normal at recheck 13 months after surgery.

Situs inversus totalis is an inherited condition characterized by a mirror-image transposition of thoracic and abdominal organs. It often coexists with other anatomical variations. Transposition of the organs imposes special demands on the diagnostic and surgical skills of the surgeon. We report a case of a 34-year-old female patient presented with left upper quadrant pain, signs of acute abdomen, and unknown situs inversus totalis. Severe acute cholecystitis was diagnosed, and an uneventful laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. A posterior cystic artery was identified and ligated. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is feasible in patients with severe acute calculus cholecystitis and situs inversus totalis; however, the surgeon should be alert of possible anatomic variations.

We present a case report of a neonate with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula. In the 31st week of gestation, maternal polyhydramnions was observed by prenatal ultrasonography. Postnatal insertion of an orogastric tube into the stomach was unsuccessful. On auscultation, the apex of the heart was heard at the right side of the thorax, while the liver was palpable I cm below the left rib cage. Esophageal atresia with tracheoesphageal fistula and situs inversus of the thoracic and abdominal organs was diagnosed. During the first day of life, left transpleural thoracotomy was performed. The fistula was closed and esophageal anastomosis performed. One year after the operation the child had no difficulties when eating solid and liquid foods. More than 50% of infants with esophageal atresia have associated anomalies and the esophagogram showed good passage of contrast with anastomotic stricture. This was the first report of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula repair in a patient with situs inversus treated in our Clinic. .

A 70-year-old healthy male individual offered to undergo a living donor hand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy to enable kidney transplantation for a close relative. As required for all living transplant donor candidates, extensive screening was performed to exclude potential contraindications for donation. Tests revealed a situs inversus totalis, meaning a complete transposition of the thoracic and abdominal organs in the sagittal plane. As other contraindications for living kidney donation were absent, the feasibility of this procedure was determined multidisciplinary. A successful donation procedure was performed without surgical complications for the donor and good short-term transplant outcomes. In line with current developments that have resulted in more liberal criteria for potential living kidney donors, major anatomical deviations should not automatically be a contraindication. With multidisciplinary efforts and thorough surgical preparation at a high-volume transplant centre, this procedure is feasible and safe.

Abstract Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital condition, which is characterized by abnormal placement of the thoracic and abdominal organs. The incidence of this condition is estimated to be from 1/8000 to 1/25,000. There have been minimal reports on SIT patients with esophageal cancer. In this report, we discuss a patient with SIT complicated by middle and lower esophageal cancer who underwent laparoscopic and thoracoscopic esophagectomy with intrathoracic anastomosis, and provide useful information with regards to treatment of this rare condition.
