Duplication of gallbladder is a rare congenital condition. We describe a patient who underwent robotic cholecystectomy for duplicated gallbladder with symptomatic gallstones.
Conclusion
Surgeons performing cholecystectomies must be aware of duplicated gallbladders and robotic cholecystectomy is a feasible option for such patients.
