Core Tip Definitive therapy for Zenker’s diverticulum (ZD) typically includes either diverticulectomy or myotomy/septotomy of the cricopharyngeus muscle. Previously done as an open transcervical approach by surgeons, treatment has now evolved to include a minimally invasive trans-oral approach with flexible endoscopy performed by gastroenterologists. In this article we highlight our experience with flexible endoscopic therapy of ZD at our institution, describe commonly used flexible endoscopic techniques and devices, and assess efficacy and safety data related to this minimally invasive modality.
