Gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ beneath the liver that stores and concentrates bile. Clinically significant for its role in bile storage and release, the gallbladder is a common site of pathology (cholelithiasis, cholecystitis).

| Balloon | Yes | Yes | Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Simulator | Medium-size regular, green preferred; alternative colours acceptable |
| P53 Silicone Rubber | Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Simulator (Casas-Murillo) | Cast continuous with the bile-duct silicone in a single 2-part Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene negative mold; held in position by a wire pulling the gallbladder over the liver scaffold to simulate the assistant's retraction maneuver. Source-rated overall Texture 4.5/5 and Consistency 4.3/5 on the aggregate simulator (Likert-5, n=13). Source: Casas-Murillo C et al. 2021, Surg Radiol Anat 43(4):537–544.
