[An experience with stenting the esophagus in patients with inoperable cancer]
Abstract:
An experience with treatment of 21 patients with inoperable cancer of the esophagus allowed determination of indications and contraindications, development of the method and technique of endoscopic implantation of a domestic meshed self-expanding stent. The complications resulting from the process of mounting and the stent itself are analyzed. The methods of eliminating the complications are shown. The immediate and nearest results of endoprosthesing are assessed. Recommendations are given concerned with the cases of ingrowth of tumor into the stent.
