Core Tip	Endoscopic stenting is accepted worldwide as the first choice palliative treatment for malignant biliary obstruction. There are still two types of materials currently being used, which are plastic and metal. Therefore, many doubts are raised as to which one is the most beneficial to the patient. This review gathers the highest quality information available about these two types of stent, giving information in regards to dysfunction, complication, re-intervention rates, costs, survival, and patency time; and intend to help handle clinical practice nowadays, especially in countries where the availability of metallic stents is scarce and cannot be offered to all patients.
