title: [Endooesophageal prostheses and their complications (author's transl)].
abstract: After inserting an oesophageal prosthesis complications could be demonstrated in 53 cases (65%) from a total of 81 autopsies. Age distribution, tumour localisation and its relation to the development of local complications are analysed. Notwithstanding the high incidence of complications endoprostheses should be given preference to gastric fistulae.
