Oesophmmhageal stent
An oesophageal stent is a small metal or plastic tube put into the food pipe (oesophagus). It keeps the food pipe open.
A cancer in the food pipe can partly or completely block it and make it difficult to swallow. Putting a stent into the blocked area opens up the food pipe again. This allows you to swallow food and drink more easily.
You have the stent fitted in hospital in the endoscopy department or x-ray department. It usually takes about 30 minutes. You need to stay in hospital overnight or for a few days.
