Fundus of gallbladder
Gall bladder
Latin	fundus vesicae biliaris

The fundus of gallbladder is the portion of the gallbladder which lies the farthest from the cystic duct.

It is covered with peritoneum.

A traditional cholecystectomy is most commonly performed from the infundibulum to the fundus.^[1]

It's at the same level as the transpyloric plane.
