          Abstract

          Kartagener syndrome consists of situs inversus, chronic sinusitis, and bronchiectasis. A 39-year-old woman known to have Kartagener syndrome presented with complaints of left upper abdominal quadrant pain. Suspicion of cholelithiasis was confirmed with ultrasound and oral cholecystogram. The patient underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Standard techniques were modified in mirror image fashion to provide access to the left upper quadrant. This unusual presentation of chronic calculus cholecystitis in a patient with Kartagener syndrome demonstrates the adaptability of laparoscopic cholecystectomy technique.
