Single-Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in Situs Inversus Totalis: A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare developmental anomaly. For many years, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been a well-established and effective treatment for patients with cholecystolithiasis. However, when it comes to SIT patients with cholecystolithiasis, this surgery presents unique challenges. Due to its complete mirror inversion of viscera, it is uncomfortable to carry out standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy for some surgeons. Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) offers a minimally invasive alternative to traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy, potentially enhancing aesthetic outcomes and minimizing postoperative discomfort. CASE REPORT A 67-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital due to abdominal pain. After admission, she completed a chest X-ray, electrocardiogram, B-ultrasound, and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. Imaging examination revealed SIT and cholecystolithiasis. The laboratory examination results were normal. All contraindications to surgery were ruled out, and then SILC was performed under general anesthesia on January 22, 2024. The surgeon and assistant stood on the right side of the patient, and the abdominal SILC port with 3 operation channels was placed through a 2-cm traumatic incision. We used electric hooks and separating forceps to dissect the Calot triangle and gallbladder of the patient, and the gallbladder was successfully removed. The patient recovered well after the surgery. CONCLUSIONS For SIT patients with cholecystolithiasis, SILC is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment option which has fewer surgical incisions and less postoperative pain. However, it demands experienced SILC surgeons, thorough preoperative examinations, and close attention to incision conditions after surgery.
