Article Abstract
A 74-year-old man with situs inversus totalis visited our hospital for a positive fecal occult blood. He was diagnosed with transverse colon cancer by total colonoscopy. We performed laparoscopic partial colectomy. He was discharged on the 8th postoperative day, without postoperative complications. Histopathological examination revealed well differentiated adenocarcinoma, pT1aN0M0, pStage Ⅰ. Preoperative assessment of the anatomical position and vascular malformations, using 3- dimensional computed tomography, was essential for our safe surgical conduct.
