Abstract

Diaphragm or septate gallbladder is a rare anatomical variation, whose pathophysiology has not been elucidated. It is often discovered incidentally intraoperatively and requires appropriate management by an experienced surgeon for dissection and individualization of the cystic pedicle elements, which the use of intraoperative cholangiography may facilitate.

The purpose of this article is to draw attention to this anatomical variation in order to prevent damage to the bile ducts.

Keywords: Septate gallbladder, diaphragm gallbladder, anatomical variation, cholecystectomy, cystic duct
