Gastrocystic

/ˌɡæstroʊˈsɪstɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or involving the stomach and the gallbladder or cyst.

Etymology

From Greek 'gastro-' (stomach) and 'cystic' derived from 'kystis' (bladder or cyst). The term can refer to connections between the stomach and bladder-like structures.

Kelly Says

Gallbladder problems can cause referred pain to the stomach area, so these two organs are closely connected not just anatomically but also in how their problems interact with each other.
