title: [The implantation of a nitinol endoprosthesis in treating strictures and atresias of the uterine cervical canal].
abstract: The paper is concerned with the description of the first experience in a new method of roentgen endoprosthetics of the cervical canal of the uterus using a nitinol spiral prosthesis. The spiral has a shape memory effect. Prostheses were implanted to 13 patients with strictures or atresia of the cervical canal after bougienage for a period of 193 days. A new canal was formed with further epithelialization within this period. Recurrences after prosthesis removal were unnoticed.
