Zenker’s diverticulum; Flexible endoscopy |
Core Tip |
Zenker’s diverticulum can cause uncomfortable symptoms such as dysphagia, regurgitation and cough, and sometimes weight loss or aspiration pneumonia. Soft diverticuloscope-assisted flexible myotomy is used worldwide and has proven to be safe and efficient. In terms of adverse events, perforation remains the major concern. The most effective tool for performing myotomy in this setting has yet to be determined. Here we treated 24 patients with the Hook knife, resulting in 91.7% overall success, a 13% recurrence rate, and only 2 mild adverse events reported. |
