| 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.
