Treatment of Giant Esophageal Epiphrenic Diverticulum Using Robotic-Assisted Surgery

Abstract: Epiphrenic diverticulum is a rare condition associated with esophageal motor disorder, and it is often asymptomatic, with a well-established surgical indication. The present study aims to report a case of a giant epiphrenic diverticulum in a 68-year-old male patient who, due to the symptoms, opted for surgical treatment using the daVinci® system. Robotic surgery consisting of esophageal diverticulectomy with cardiomyotomy was performed. The patient had an excellent recovery with an abbreviated hospitalization,… Show more

“…According to their location, they are classified as proximal, midesophageal, or epiphrenic diverticula 6,7 . In the literature, conditions such as achalasia, diffuse esophageal spasm, and hypertensive lower esophageal sphincter (LES) are motility abnormalities associated with epiphrenic diverticulum 8 .…”
