| Abstrakt: | Bariatric surgery in patients with any deviation from normal anatomy is a challenge and requires considerable experience on the part of the surgeon. Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital abnormality (1:5,000-1:20,000 live births), and any surgical procedure on these patients can be somewhat challenging. A 44-year-old woman with morbid obesity, systemic arterial hypertension, and SIT underwent vertical endoscopic gastroplasty. The procedure was performed in 56 minutes with no complications. Vertical endoscopic gastroplasty proved to be safe on this patient with SIT, with reproducible technical viability, a short procedure time, and no early onset complications. Prospective studies are needed to establish the actual safety and viability of the method in this group of patients. (© 2019 The Author(s).
