Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped, muscular sac located beneath the liver on the right side of the upper abdomen. It stores and concentrates bile produced by the liver and releases it through the cystic duct into the common bile duct and then the small intestine to help digest and absorb fats. Common clinical issues include gallstones (cholelithiasis) and inflammation (cholecystitis); removal of the gallbladder is called a cholecystectomy.
