[Palliative oesophago-jejunal anastomosis for advanced carcinoma of the stomach (author's transl)].

Palliative oesophago-jejunal anastomosis via a purely abdominal approach is proposed in the treatment of inoperable carcinoma of the stomach, and in which gastro-enterostomy is not possible. The latero-lateral nature avoiding any dissection of the oesophagus and the wide calibre of the anastomosis made possible by automatic suture clamps are factors in ensuring the reliability and effectiveness of the method, which considerably improves the living conditions of these patients.
