dear author
it was pleasure to go through your case report.agenesis of gb is infact a rare anomally.i just have a point to mention.well usg,ct scan and mrcp would be in total required to label a patient with an anomally you are reporting.but i personally feel one should add a hepatic scan(hepatoscintigraphy) before one could confidently label a patient with agenesis of gb.i understand mrcp would help us but scintiscan is an impressive diagnostic tool.secondly i agree that since gb surgery is one of the commonest operations we perform,it is a message for all of us not necessarily for laparoscopist but for open surgeons too to have a point of caution in this regard.it is relevant here to mention that we reported a retroportal cbd,first case in literature.if one is not aware of these anomalies one day or the other one may find oneself in a trap.other than that you just need to to elevate the article and give it look again to check the language errors.i enjoyed the content.
