IMPORTANCE Gallbladder infection can present with variable severity and in acute settings may compel surgeon to perform a relatively less complex, subtotal cholecystectomy in certain circumstances, which may lead to a residual portion of the gallbladder and associated complications in some cases. The reported incidence of such cases of subtotal cholecystectomy ranges from 0.4 to 3%, out of which 10% develop symptoms and present in healthcare centers with complications such as remnant cholecystitis and reoccurrence of cholecystolithiasis, or even gall bladder carcinoma. Here, we report a case of the residual gallbladder which was subsequently catered through a laparoscopic approach successfully
