During a meal, gall bladder squeezes the stored bile and delivered to the intestine through ducts. When the bile components crystallize in the gallbladder, then it forms into gallstones. Gall stones can grow bigger over time and cause severe pain. This condition often leads a patient to Gall Bladder Stone Surgery.
