Özet

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgery is a procedure that has become more common in the past 10 years. Situs inversus totalis is an extremely rare condition. SG can be performed safely in SIT patients. However, pre-operative multidisciplinary evaluation is very important. In this article, we present a 25-year-old female patient with a body mass index of 47.6 who had no idea that she had SIT until pre-operative tests revealed it. The patient was discharged on the 3rd post-operative day without any problem. We would like to emphasize the importance of imaging even if the patient does not have any disease or risk before bariatric surgery. We believe that more studies should be done with SIT and bariatric surgery.
