The actual evidence is insufficient to recommend if it is better the use of SEMSu over SEMSc or vice versa for the drainage of the malignant distal biliary obstruction during ERCP. We performed a systematic review and meta-analyses to demonstrate if exists superiority between one or other type of SEMS performed by ERCP.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We conducted a systematic review in different databases, such as PubMed, Cochrane, Medline, and OVID database.

A total of 1070 patients were included. Of the total of patients, 48.9% were male. The cumulative stent patency, the failure rate, the survival probably and the adverse events rate, were similar between SEMSc and SEMSu groups. The stent migration rate was higher in the SEMSc group (RR=2.34 [95% CI: 1.35-4.08]). The tumor overgrowth was higher in the SEMSc group (RR=2.05 [95% CI: 1.13-3.72]). The tumor ingrowth was higher in the SEMSu group (RR=0.25 [95% CI: 0.11-0.61]).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The conclusions of our study show that there are no differences between the use of uncovered SEMS and covered SEMS for palliative treatment of distal biliopancreatic obstructions, and it has no impact on mortality or patient survival.
