  • Title: [Endoscopic implantation of endoprostheses in incurable esophageal and cardia cancer].
    Author: Wiesenhaken U, Rogos R.
    Journal: Z Gesamte Inn Med; 1990 Mar 01; 45(3):76-8. PubMed ID: 1692437.
    Abstract:
    The palliative treatment of tumorous stenosis of the esophagus and cardio-esophageal region by intubation with an endoprosthesis leads to an improved quality of life. The used endoscopic positioning provides better results than the surgical procedure. This method is easy in handling and has only few complications. The endoscopic positioning of endoprosthesis is also a really alternative of alimentary fistula. The positioning of plastic prosthesis under endoscopic control should be given preference in the palliative treatment of obstructing cardio-esophageal malignancy.
