The gall bladder is a part of the human digestive system. It is located below the liver in the right abdomen. The main function of the gall bladder is to store bile that is required for emulsification and digestion of fats. In a condition like the formation of gallstones (obstruction created by hardening of bile substances) the flow of bile from the gall bladder into the small intestine gets restricted. Rarely cancerous growth can also affect the gallbladder. In these cases, surgical removal of this organ is the preferable mode of treatment by physicians.
