Long-term results of endosurgical and open surgical approach for Zenker diverticulum

Abstract: Both operations relieve the outflow obstruction at the pharyngoesophageal junction, indicating that cricopharyngeal myotomy has an important therapeutic role in this disease independent of the resection of the pouch and of the surgical approach. Diverticula smaller than 3 cm represent a formal contraindication to the endosurgical approach because the common wall is too short to accommodate one cartridge of staples and to allow complete division of the sphincter.

“…Bonavina et al 6 analisam os resultados tardios de 5 a 10 anos do tratamento de 297 doentes, comparando tratamento endoscópico (181 casos) com a diverticulectomia seguida de miotomia (116 casos). Referem que 92% dos doentes submetidos a tratamento endoscópico e 94% dos submetidos a operação aberta ficaram livres dos sintomas disfágicos, concluindo que ambas as técnicas apresentam bons resultados.…”

“…Another key aspect is that small diverticula have smaller septum, which does not allow a complete section of the cricopharyngeal muscle and the proximal muscles of the esophagus, limiting the use of this technique in these patients. Nowadays, this technique is mostly reserved for diverticula with three or more centimeters [7][8][9] . The hemostasis is revised and the procedure is finished.…”
