 | | The gall bladder is a small pear-shaped organ situated directly under the liver in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. |
 | | If however the gall stones or sludge are causing upper abdominal pain, nausea, bouts of vomiting, pain in the right shoulder, or if there is a chance of infection or cancer in the gall bladder, then you must be guided by your own surgeon. |
 | | Gall bladder disease is very common, with around one million new cases of gall stones occurring every year in the U.S.A. This equates to 1 in every 250 persons who develop gall bladder problems annually, and the incidence is only slightly less in Australia. |
