Living Liver Donor with Gallbladder Agenesis

Gallbladder agenesis (GA) is a rare congenital condition with a reported incidence of 10–65 per 100,000 (1), though its true prevalence is likely underestimated due to frequent asymptomatic presentation. Symptomatic individuals may experience manifestations related to associated biliary tract disorders. We report a case of a living liver donor with GA, with particular emphasis on intraoperative considerations and surgical awareness required during donor hepatectomy.
