Introduction Common bile duct stone-related events and their recurrence are frequent even after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and stone extraction. Cholecystectomy should be carried out as soon as possible after the initial episode to prevent complications. Case presentation We present a case of a patient who underwent endoscopic ultrasound, cholangiopancreatography with stone extraction and cholecystectomy on the same day. Discussion After a common bile duct stone-related event, investigation, and stone extraction, cholecystectomy should be carried out as soon as possible to avoid high rates of recurrence and complications. Rise in health care costs nowadays mandate such an approach as a pre-emptive measure to prevent health complications while lowering health costs. Conclusion Diagnosis of common bile duct stone followed by extraction with endoscopic cholangiopancreatography and cholecystectomy on the same day is feasible, safe, and has many potential advantages.
