What exactly is the gallbladder?
Gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped sac on the right side of the abdomen. It is found just beneath the liver. It stores bile (a digestive fluid) made by the liver which helps in fat digestion. Bile is released into the small intestine through two ducts (tubes) the cystic duct and common bile duct. Gallstones are hard, calcified structures inside the gall bladder formed due to crystallization of bile. They may also form when the gallbladder fails to empty normally.
