Core Tip	This meta-analysis of 15 studies demonstrates that three-dimensional reconstruction technology significantly improves the safety and puncture success rate of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage compared to traditional methods. Although no significant advantage in bile drainage efficacy was observed, the technology exhibits critical clinical value by reducing complication risks through precise preoperative planning and real-time intraoperative navigation. Future large-scale studies, particularly stratified studies based on biliary anatomy and disease subtypes, are required to clarify its applicability across diverse clinical scenarios, thereby advancing standardized protocols and widespread clinical adoption of this innovative approach.
