Gallbladder Removal
 

Normal - Gallbladder Removal

The gallbladder is located inside the right side of the abdomen, underneath the liver. It stores bile that is produced by the liver, and delivers it to the first part of the small intestine (duodenum), where it aids in the digestion of fat. The cystic ducts and common bile ducts connect the gallbladder to the duodenum, and allow bile to pass through.
