title: [Endoscopic tube implantation for the palliative treatment of malignant stenoses in the esophago-gastric region].
abstract: Palliative surgical treatment of malignant oesophago-gastric strictures has been disappointing. Resections in an advanced tumor stage are heroic interventions with a high mortality rate. Alimentary fistulas do not release from annoying saliva regurgitation but unnecessarily mutilate the terminal patient. The positioning of a tube under endoscopic control into the constricting neoplasma has the following advantages: 1. deglutition and saliva drainage are restored; 2. morbidity- and mortality rate is low; 3. duration of hospitalization is brief (1-2 days).
