Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Endoscopic Procedures

Background:

  • Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) presents a challenge in esophageal treatment.
  • Standard endoscopic treatments have limitations.
  • A modified approach, endoscopic stapling diverticulostomy (ESD), was developed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic stapling diverticulostomy (ESD) for treating Zenker's diverticulum (ZD).

Main Methods:

  • ESD involves complete upper esophageal sphincter myotomy and division of the common wall.
  • The divided edges are closed simultaneously with an endostapler.
  • The procedure was performed on 21 patients with ZD.

Main Results:

  • Average operation time was 22 minutes.
  • Achieved wide diverticulum opening and excellent hemostasis.
  • 20 out of 21 patients resumed oral intake without sepsis; complete dysphagia relief in all 20.
  • Average hospital stay was 4.7 days.

Conclusions:

  • ESD is an effective endoscopic treatment for ZD.
  • The procedure is associated with a low risk of complications.
  • ESD requires a short hospitalization period with no recorded relapses after 12 months follow-up.
