Popis: Gallstone disease is common in China and is generally treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy. For some patients with normal contraction function and a small number of stones, endoscopic minimally invasive cholecystolithotomy is an additional possible treatment method that avoids complications related to laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Here, we describe a 45-year-old woman who underwent endoscopic minimally invasive cholecystolithotomy and was found to have duplicate gallbladder, which was not diagnosed preoperatively. We discuss the usefulness of the endoscopic minimally invasive cholecystolithotomy procedure and the management of duplicate gallbladder in patients undergoing endoscopic minimally invasive cholecystolithotomy.
