Abstract:
The transoral endoscopic staple-assisted esophagodiverticulotomy is a new technique for the treatment of Zenker's diverticulum. In the period of July and August 1997, four older high-risk patients underwent this new technique with good results. To assess the value of this technique long-term follow-up studies as well as comparative trials will be needed.
