Duplicated gallbladders are a rare congenital anomaly. Most cases are asymptomatic, but duplicated gallbladders can present significant diagnostic and surgical challenges, particularly due to the risk of bile duct injury or retained stones if not recognized preoperatively. Advanced imaging modalities such as ultrasonography, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, and intraoperative cholangiography are often required for accurate diagnosis, though variability in anatomical presentation complicates preoperative identification. Clinical vigilance is therefore essential, especially in atypical biliary presentations. We present the case of a 56-year-old male patient with a duplicated gallbladder who successfully underwent robotic-assisted cholecystectomy. The case report adheres to the CARE (CAse REport) guidelines to ensure transparency and completeness, detailing the clinical history, diagnostic approach, surgical management, and outcomes.
重复胆囊是一种罕见的先天性异常。大多数病例无症状，但重复胆囊可能带来重大的诊断和手术挑战，特别是如果术前未被识别，存在胆管损伤或结石残留的风险。准确诊断通常需要先进的影像学检查手段，如超声、磁共振胰胆管造影和术中胆管造影，不过解剖结构表现的差异使术前识别变得复杂。因此，临床警惕至关重要，尤其是在非典型胆道表现的情况下。我们报告一例56岁男性重复胆囊患者成功接受机器人辅助胆囊切除术的病例。该病例报告遵循CARE（病例报告）指南，以确保透明度和完整性，详细介绍了临床病史、诊断方法、手术治疗及结果。
