Core Tip	The conventional two-stage approach separates endoscopic and surgical interventions, whereas the single-stage laparoendoscopic rendezvous procedure provides a more streamlined alternative. This study highlights the advantages of laparoendoscopic rendezvous, including shorter hospital stay, a reduced risk of post- endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis, and improved bile duct clearance. Furthermore, we examine its feasibility across various healthcare settings, particularly in low-volume centers, where procedural consolidation could enhance outcomes. Future studies should focus on refining patient selection and evaluating long-term benefits to optimize clinical practice.
