Core Tip	This study defined textbook outcome (TO) criteria for laparoscopic transcystic common bile duct exploration as the absence of seven criteria: Conversion to open surgery, postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ 2), biliary leakage (International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery/International Study Group of Liver Surgery grade B/C), delayed removal of drainage tube (> 4 days), postoperative interventions, prolonged length of stay (> 7 days), and 30-day readmission or mortality. Factors independently associated with TO failure included preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, advanced age, prolonged anesthesia time, and elevated preoperative alkaline phosphatase levels. This investigation addresses the existing gap in TO evaluation within laparoscopic transcystic common bile duct exploration and contributes to risk stratification efforts, optimizing individual management.
