Core Tip	Malignant obstructive jaundice treated with percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage often results in prolonged bile loss and delayed hepatic recovery. This retrospective study demonstrates that internal bile reinfusion via the drainage catheter restores enterohepatic circulation more effectively than oral bile reinfusion. Internal reinfusion significantly accelerates bilirubin normalization, improves hepatic synthetic and nutritional status, reduces gastrointestinal symptoms, and enhances quality of life without increasing complications. Internal bile reinfusion represents a safe, practical, and superior postoperative bile management strategy after percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage.
