title: [The fiberoptic-endocopic intubation for the palliatuve treatment of malignant esophageal stenosis].
abstract: Fibreoptic-endoscopic dilatation and intubation is a relatively new and safe palliative treatment for patients with inoperable esophageal carcinoma. The procedure is described at length in three patients in whom it produced instant relief of dysphagia and rapid improvement of nutrition. The stay in hospital is reduced to a minimum. Possible complications are discussed.
