Bilobed Zenker

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Surgical Endoscopy

Background:

  • Zenker's diverticulum, a pharyngeal pouch, is typically a single outpouching.
  • Bilobed Zenker's diverticulum is a rare anatomical variation, presenting unique management challenges.

Observation:

  • Two cases of patients presenting with bilobed Zenker's diverticulum were identified.
  • These rare pharyngeal pouches required a tailored surgical approach.

Findings:

  • Successful endoscopic management was achieved by dividing and stapling only the larger lobe of the bilobed pouch.
  • This targeted approach in two patients represents the first reported successful treatment of bilobed Zenker's diverticulum using this specific technique.

Implications:

  • Transoral endoscopic division and stapling of the larger lobe offers a viable and effective treatment for bilobed Zenker's diverticulum.
