Right Lobe Living Donor Hepatectomy in the Setting of Agenesis of Gall Bladder - A Case Report.

ABSTRACT

Agenesis of Gall Bladder (AGB) is a rare congenital anomaly with only around 500 cases reported so far. The condition may be associated with other biliary anomalies and present diagnostic and technical challenges during hemi hepatectomy which can be surmounted with careful planning. Live donor hepatectomy in the setting of AGB has not been reported before. We report a case of AGB in a potential living donor and highlight the technical modifications used to perform a safe right hepatectomy in this donor.
