Abstract: We prove a general version of the ``Stability Theorem'': if $ K$ is a valued field such that the ramification theoretical defect is trivial for all of its finite extensions, and if $ F\vert K$ is a finitely generated (transcendental) extension of valued fields for which equality holds in the Abhyankar inequality, then the defect is also trivial for all finite extensions of $ F$. This theorem is applied to eliminate ramification in such valued function fields. It has applications to local uniformization and to the model theory of valued fields in positive characteristic.
