Abstract

Several reports since the early 1990s have advocated a minimally invasive technique, endoscopic staple diverticulostomy (ESD), to treat Zenker's diverticulum. However, long-term results and comparisons with the reported experience with external or other endoscopic approaches have been lacking in the literature. We present follow-up on our experience with ESD since 1995 and compare it with the results obtained by other endoscopic or external techniques for treatment of Zenker's diverticulum.
