Databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library were comprehensively searched from inception to December 2025 for comparative studies of EUS-GJ and SGJ in treating MGOO.

Pooled analysis showed no significant differences between EUS-GJ and SGJ in technical success (RR\u00a0=\u00a00.98, P\u00a0=\u00a00.08), clinical success (RR\u00a0=\u00a01.08, P\u00a0=\u00a00.07), obstruction recurrence (RR\u00a0=\u00a00.48, P\u00a0=\u00a00.05), or re-intervention rates (RR\u00a0=\u00a01.48, P\u00a0=\u00a00.61). However, the EUS-GJ group demonstrated significant advantages, including a shorter length of hospital stay (MD= -3.57 days, P&amp;lt;0.001), a quicker time to first oral intake (MD= -2.88 days, P&amp;lt;0.001), a shorter time to resume chemotherapy (MD= -16.05 days, P&amp;lt;0.001), and a lower overall adverse events rate (RR\u00a0=\u00a00.44, P\u00a0=\u00a00.008).<\/jats:p>\n
