Left sided gallbladder is a rare anomaly that is often associated with other abnormal anatomy in the hepatobiliary system. One left positioned gallbladder was found in a consecutive series of 3290 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstone disease in the Mure County Emergency Hospital’s 2nd Surgery Clinic between 2005 and 2015, a prevalence of 0.03 per cent. In case of left sided gallbladder the cystic artery always crosses in front of the common bile duct from right to left. The cystic duct may open on the left or right side of the common hepatic duct. Anterograde cholecystectomy is the best choice for precise exploration of the cystic duct and cystic artery.

Introduction: Spiegelian hernias are rare entities in abdominal wall pathology (2%). They occur in the semilunar line described by Adriaan van den Spiegel. Klinklosch (1764) defined it as a congenital or acquired defect of the transverse abdominal aponeurosis junction with the Douglas arch. Port-site hernias due to wrong placement of laparoscopic trocars in the right abdominal flank are rare, but possible complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Case presentation: Our observation shows diagnostic and therapeutic aspects in a patient with port-site Spigelian hernia post laparoscopic cholecystectomy admitted in Surgical Clinic 1, County Emergency Clinical Hospital Tîrgu Mureș in the 28.01.2013 – 30.01.2013 period. Following surgery performed using an open approach, postoperative evolution was favorable, with no signs of recurrence at 9 months postoperatively.
Conclusions: Spigelian port-site hernia post laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a very rare entity, iatrogeny being a certainty in its development.
