| Core Tip |
We critically appraise the phenotypic classification proposed by Hao et al, contending that the entity termed “diverticulum without septum” most plausibly represents an iatrogenic blown-out myotomy, given the high prevalence of prior endoscopic interventions in this cohort. Furthermore, we question the asserted necessity of septotomy, as recent multicenter evidence suggests standard myotomy alone is equally effective for epiphrenic diverticula, while mitigating the additional procedural risks. Distinguishing between primary pathology and secondary adverse events, paired with objective functional follow-up, is crucial for selecting the appropriate endoscopic strategy. |
