Laparoscopic transvesical bile duct exploration achieved complete bile duct clearance in all patients.
Nine patients underwent the procedure, with an emergency indication in seven cases and acute cholecystitis in eight.
This single-centre prospective case series documented outcomes across surgeries performed from June 2023 to December 2024.
The findings suggest that LTVBDE is a safe alternative when traditional cystic duct access methods are not feasible.
