Abstract:
A simple technique is described for accurate placement of the Wilson Cook prosthesis in the management of malignant tracheo-oesophageal fistula. This cuffed tube permits effective occlusion of the fistula while earlier problems of oesophageal intubation (migration, erosion, etc.) are avoided.
