See answer: A persistently contracted(collapsed)gallbladder is usually the result of chronic inflammation and scarring of the gallbladder resulting in inability to distend and fill with bile. This is the result of gallstones causing mechanical irritation of the GB or prior episodes of acute cholecystitis. If there has been no recent episodes of biliary pain no treatment or surgery is required.
