Abstract

Wandering liver syndrome is an extremely rare congenital disorder. It is mainly diagnosed within the first years of life. Herein we report the case of a 40-year-old woman with hepatoptosis due to the absence of anatomical peritoneal attachments of the liver. Surgical treatment consisted in inserting the floppy right lobe of the liver in a subphrenic retroperitoneal pouch. This original technique provided excellent postoperative result.
