Abstract

During the past 2 years we have treated 30 patients with an endotubus positioned by endoscopical and radiological control. In contrast to many other authors we have also used this method in proximal stenosing tumors. Our mortality rate lies at 16% with a mean post-operative survival time of 9 weeks. There were no deaths due to this procedure in patients (n = 18) with distally situated tumors. The hospital stay of patients treated using this method is much shorter than when surgery is employed, and the complication rate is much lower. If no problems are encountered, patients can be discharged after 2 days.
