ABSTRACT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Background and Aims:<\/strong>\u00a0 A floating gall bladder is a rare anatomical variation.\u00a0 It is most of the times presented as a case report. \u00a0A gallbladder that is completely covered with peritoneum is called a floating gall bladder or wandering gallbladder.\u00a0 It is usually suspended from the inferior surface of the liver by a fold of mesentery.\u00a0 The non-fixed gallbladder can undergo complete torsion or incomplete torsion in \u00a0a clockwise or anti-clockwise directions.\u00a0 \u00a0The present study finding out the\u00a0 incidence of floating \/ wandering gallbladder is the\u00a0 first of its kind.\u00a0 Only if aware, the medical personnel can take up the unusual situations\u00a0 with confidence rather that surprise lessening the morbidity and mortality rates in\u00a0 treating them.<\/p>\n

Materials and Methods:<\/strong> The present study was carried on \u00a0\u00a045 formalin fixed cadaveric [40 Male and 5 Female]\u00a0 livers.<\/p>\n

Results:<\/strong>\u00a0 In the present study 2 (4.44%) \u00a0floating gall bladders were identified after observing the\u00a0 inferior surfaces of \u00a045 formalin fixed liver specimens. \u00a0One in \u00a0Male and other in a Female Cadaver.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/strong>\u00a0 A floating gall bladder is a rare variation occurring at the inferior surface of the liver.\u00a0 A variant anatomy illuminates embryology.\u00a0 It is \u00a0one of the reasons for acute cholecystitis,\u00a0 torsion and wandering\u00a0 abdominal pain. The mortality rates for patients with a \u00a0\u00a0necrotic gallbladder is 10 times higher. The knowledge of this variation is necessary for the anatomists, gastro hepatic surgeons and radiologists.<\/p>\n

Key Words:<\/strong>\u00a0 Floating Gallbladder, Inferior Surface, Torsion.<\/p>\n
