A member asked:
Appendix was on my left side, but so is my heart - was it intestinal malrotation or situs inversus incompletus? is malrotation a form of incompletus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mirror image: Total situs inversus , is not a malformation problem , al the organs develop exactly opposite side , like a mirror image, heart will be on right side , gall bladder on left side etc , so the doctor has to aware like when doing GB or appendix will be on left side .
