In vertebrates the gallbladder ( cholecyst , gall bladder , biliary vesicle ) is a small organ that aids mainly in fat digestion and concentrates bile produced by the liver . In humans , the loss of the gallbladder is usually easily tolerated. The surgical removal of the gall bladder is called a cholecystectomy .
