Explains Delhi’s Top Gallbladder Stones Surgeon Dr Amita Jain
The gallbladder is a small-sized organ that is located in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen, below the liver. Its major function is to store bile juice that helps digestion. Gallbladder stones are a medical condition wherein hardened deposits of cholesterol and bilirubin form and sometimes get lodged in the gallbladder or bile ducts.
The size of these stones may differ from the size of a golf ball to a grain of rice. Several stones might develop simultaneously. These stones could leave the gallbladder and get stuck along the way says India’s leading female laparoscopy surgeon Dr Amita Jain.

Depending on the size and discomfort caused, these stones could be removed surgically or via symptomatic care.
