In 33 patients who underwent operative intubation of carcinoma of the oesophagus or gastric cardia, there were nine postoperative deaths (mortality 27%). Only 15 patients (46%) had no further operative procedure or anaesthetics, but their mean survival was only 3.7 months. Nine patients (27%) required a total of 17 procedures after the placement of their original tube. Operative intubation has a similar mortality to resection but the survival times are short. Whenever possible palliative resection or endoscopic intubation is to be recommended.
