  • To compare diverticulectomy and diverticulopexy for Zenker's diverticulum treatment.
  • Evaluate outcomes in a cohort of 39 patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective, nonrandomized study.

  • Excellent results in 36 patients, good in 3.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cricopharyngeal myotomy with diverticulopexy is suitable for geriatric patients.
