Dr. Yang Ziqi
The gallbladder is generally located in the right upper abdomen. The hepatobiliary system is a liver structure situated in the right upper quadrant of the human body, between the ribs and the groin, beneath the right lobe of the liver, and performs important physiological functions. The gallbladder is a pear-shaped sac-like organ that stores and concentrates bile, which aids in food digestion. Patients are advised to seek timely medical attention if discomfort occurs, to determine the underlying cause and receive standardized treatment under a doctor's guidance.
