Located below the liver, the gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ that stores bile, a fluid produced by the liver to help digest fats.
When stones block its duct, an inflammation called cholecystitis can occur.
To relieve this inflammation, doctors usually recommend a cholecystectomy to remove the gallbladder.
