Core Tip	Covered self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) are viable alternatives to uncovered SEMS and silicone stents, with higher stenting success rates and less complication risks. This is a systematic review evaluating the safety and efficacy of SEMS in benign airway stenosis treatment. Our results challenge the existing guidelines that favour silicone stents and point to contemporary covered SEMS as a viable alternative in view of its increased insertion success and lower complication rates, compared to uncovered SEMS.
