Objective  To evaluate the efficacy and safety of local triamcinolone combined with conventional interventional therapy in the treatment of benign airway stenosis. Methods  PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMbase, Web of science, wanfang, VIP and China National Knowledge Infrastructure were searched by computer between the establishment of the database and August, 2019, and all literatures on the local treatment of benign airway stenosis using triamcinolone combined with conventional interventional therapy were searched. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, 2 researchers screened the literatures and performed the data extraction and methodological quality evaluation. Meta-analysis was performed with Revman5.2 and Stata software. Results  In total, nine randomized controlled trials were included in this meta-analysis, including 449 patients with airway stenosis. The total result showed that in the comparison of short-term efficacy, there were no statistically significant differences in breathability score (SMD=–0.16, 95%CI –0.45 - 0.13, P=0.27), airway diameter (SMD=0.14, 95%CI –0.13 - 0.41, P=0.30), and cross-sectional stenosis rate (SMD=–0.01, 95%CI –0.36 - 0.34, P=0.96) between the treatment group and the control group. In the comparison of long-term efficacy, the breathability score (SMD=–2.53, 95%CI –3.78 - –1.28, P<0.05), airway diameter (SMD=1.31, 95%CI 0.83 - 1.78, P<0.05), cross-sectional stenosis rate (SMD=2.58, 95%CI: 2.11~3.08, P<0.05), and FEV1(SMD=0.42, 95%CI 0.13 - 0.70, P=0.004) of patients in the treatment group were all better than those in the control group. But in terms of adverse reactions, the incidence of bleeding in the airway between two groups was similar (RR=2.00, 95%CI 0.88 - 4.52, P=0.10), other adverse reactions such as blood glucose and plasma cortisol levels were mild, which can be relieved symptomatically. Conclusion  Current evidence suggests that topical triamcinolone combined with conventional interventional therapy for benign airway stenosis has a better long-term clinical efficacy with fewer adverse reactions and better overall patient tolerance, which has clinical application value
