Is the gallbladder attached to the liver?

Answer 1

Normally the gallbladder is located below the liver... However, in 2004, My gallbladder had to be removed from INSIDE my liver... After removal, I was sent home, but went back into the hospital 2 days later for emergency surgery to go back in to close off the bile ducts! My insdie were filled with bile & I was sent home with a catherter & bags to remove the bile... Hospice was there for over a month, everyone thought I was going to die, but I showed them! -- So, yes to answer your question: "It depends how normal you are..."

Answer 2

This never happened before, most probably, in known medical history. But this can happen theoretically. Due to reverse peristaltic contractions. Any such thing is possible in Biology. Normally the stones stay in the gall bladder. At times one comes in the bile duct to give you severe pain and obstructive jaundice in the upper abdomen. The stone can go up to the liver. Not in the liver. As the tract becomes more and more narrow there.

Answer 3
