Background And Aims:
Submucosal tunneling endoscopic septum division (STESD) is a valid endoscopic modality for treating esophageal diverticula. However, it requires highly skilled endoscopists. Here, we propose a modified STESD method.
Methods:
This is a single-center, prospective case series. We consecutively enrolled 8 patients diagnosed with esophageal diverticula. All patients underwent the modified STESD by 1 experienced endoscopist.
Results:
Only 1 patient had intraoperative bleeding, which was successfully stopped endoscopically. The mean ± standard deviation size of the diverticula was 3.16 ± 1.14 cm. The operation time ranged from 27 to 68 minutes, with a mean value of 40.88 minutes. The number of clips ranged from 4 to 8. The success rate was 100%. None of the patients had symptom recurrences during 2 to 25 months of follow-up.
Conclusions:
The modified STESD method for esophageal diverticula is effective and safe; further large prospective controlled studies are needed.

Esophageal Strictures-I: Introduction
Etiology
The primary cause of esophageal strictures is long-standing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), accounting for about 70 to 80% of adult cases. Chronic acid reflux can lead to injury and scarring of the esophageal lining, culminating in...
