Preface
Diseases of the Gallbladder (GB) are relatively common, and the most common pathology is gallstone affecting 10–15% of the adult population. Most of the patients with GB diseases come to the hospital with RUQ pain or discomfort. We can diagnose most diseases of the GB (gallstone, inflammation, and cancer) by laboratory examinations and imaging (ultrasonography, CT, and MRI) along with endoscopic ultrasonography.
