Résumé / Abstract

Over the last few years the use of endoscopically placed endoprostheses for benign and malignant digestive diseases has considerably developed. The endoscopic placement of prostheses is usually well tolerated by patients; it does not require anaesthesia and it is a relatively low-risk procedure. New self-expandable metallic prostheses allow to treat even very tight stenoses; they do not usually require dilatation, therefore reducing the risks involved in dilatation procedure. This study presents a review of experience with prostheses placement in digestive diseases. Indications, limits and complications will be discussed according to data reported in the international literature.
