However, the literature on morphological variations of the gallbladder and their prevalence are limited. This study aims to identify various anatomical variations in gallbladder shape and position that should be considered for clinical implications, investigative procedures, radiological studies, surgical interventions, embryological explanations, and comparative anatomy. Aim of this study is to study the morphology of gallbladder in cadavers.</span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:16.0pt"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><b><i><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:9.0pt">Materials & Methods:</span></i></b><b> </b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:9.0pt">This study was done on 100 cadaveric liver and gallbladder specimens available in the Department of Anatomy, Sri Devaraj Urs Medical College, Kolar, India. </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:9.0pt">Parameters such as maximum transverse diameter and maximum length were measured with help of metallic tape.
