Celestin tubes have been used in two groups of patients with advanced benign oesophageal strictures. Group 1 consisted of 22 elderly, poor risk patients in whom intubation alone, via a gastrotomy, has provided good symptomatic relief of dysphagia. In 11 younger, better risk patients (group 2), it has been used as a temporary indwelling dilator in combination with repair of the hiatus hernia and has been removed at a mean of 5 months postoperatively. Seventy-three per cent of patients have remained free of recurrence when followed up for 2 years.
塞莱斯坦管已用于两组晚期良性食管狭窄患者。第一组由22名老年、高危患者组成，通过胃造口术单独插管已使吞咽困难症状得到良好缓解。在11名年轻、低危患者（第二组）中，它被用作临时留置扩张器，同时修复食管裂孔疝，并在术后平均5个月取出。随访2年时，73%的患者未复发。
