Core Tip	This case demonstrates a safe and effective single-stage laparoscopic transcystic clearance of a common bile duct (CBD) stone in an 83-year-old high-risk patient with concomitant cholelithiasis, choledocholithiasis, and acute cholecystitis, for whom conventional endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was not feasible due to a tight fibrotic duodenal stricture. The procedure avoided choledochotomy, resulted in smooth postoperative recovery, and highlights transcystic CBD exploration as a valuable minimally invasive alternative when endoscopic access is limited.
