Though esophageal cancer was not a common disease, early metastasis and direct extension to adjacent organ were important on the treatment of disease. Therefore, palliative operation was often useful in advanced esophageal cancer. Between June 1985 through July 1985, we treated three cases of inoperable esophageal cancer with Celestin`s endo-esophageal tube by esophageal intubation. Three operations were done under general anesthesia. Celestin`s tube were inserted via oral cavity and additional traction on stomach were applied. After complete insertion of tube was done, the distal end of Celestin`s tube was modified in length. Also stay suture was applied between tube and stomach wall was applied. Postoperative esophagogram revealed good esophageal patency through Celestin`s tube. Clinically, swallowing difficulty was much improved after operation.
