Nine patients with advanced esophageal carcinoma underwent intubation with Celestin tubes between July 1973 and May 1975. Our indications for intubation were inability to swallow liquids or handle secretions and tracheoesophageal fistula resulting from advanced carcinoma involving the esophagus. Eight patients received adequate palliation; one died of continuing aspiration from a tracheoesophageal fistula. Major complications were noted in two survivors. The operative technic is discussed in detail.
