[Treatment of biliary tract carcinoma with metal endoprosthesis]
Helvetica Chirurgica Acta
|August 1, 1979
Abstract:
The application of endoprosthesis in the surgery of biliary tract carcinoma is a very valuable method to prolong the life of cancer patients. The metalendoprosthesis with drain for continuously rinsing the bile duct to avoid incrusation showed good results in 9 patients for short survival time of 5-26 months. Two patients were treated with bifurcated Y-shape prosthesis after resection of bile duct carcinoma.
