Abstract:
We present our experience in the surgical treatment of 14 cases of Zenker's diverticulum, diagnosed from January, 1969 to December, 1988. In 11 cases we performed one stage diverticulectomy; in 4 cases, manometric findings required cricopharyngeal myotomy. In 3 cases surgical treatment was not indicated; 2 patients had liver cirrhosis and high surgical risk and the third patient declined the treatment. Current treatment is discussed.
