A double gallbladder is a rare congenital anomaly. If not recognized during preoperative evaluation or operation, it can cause severe complications. There are many cases in the literature in which double gallbladder has been missed at the first operation. We report a case in which accessory gallbladder was suspected, confirmed at the operation, and managed successfully by laparoscopic cholecystectomy
