Abstract:
A simple technique to improve external surgical treatment of Zenker's diverticulum is presented. A rigid esophageal endoscopy is performed just before the operation. The diverticulum is explored and washed. A single lumen tracheal tube is inserted into the esophageal lumen to serve as a stent. The technique is safe and easy and improves the bacterial control of the operation field.
