The Gallbladder is a small organ located in the upper right abdomen, just below the liver. It stores and concentrates bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver. In the context of Hepatology, the Gallbladder plays an important role in the digestion of fats and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. It also helps to regulate the release of bile into the small intestine. Gallbladder diseases, such as cholecystitis, gallstones, and biliary dyskinesia, are common in the general population and can cause significant discomfort and pain. Treatment of these conditions often involves surgical removal of the Gallbladder, known as cholecystectomy.
