ABOUT GALL BLADDER STONES Gall bladder is a small pear-shaped organ situated just beneath the liver on the right side. The main function of gall bladder is storage of bile made by the liver with an average capacity of 50ml. Normal digestion can occur even without gall bladder as it will still be produced by liver and will reach the intestine for digestion of food but without being stored in gall bladder. When gall bladder continuously fails to empty as it should, cholesterol found in bile precipitate leading to formation of stones. Majority of gall bladder stones are made of cholesterol.
