|
The traditional approach to diagnosis and management of Zenker’s diverticulum is open surgicaltreatment. More recently, however, endoscopic technique is also frequently used for Zenker’sdiverticulum because it has advantages of shortening operation time, postoperativehospitalization and reducing the complication such as recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. A75-year-old male, who was diagnosed with Zenker’s diverticulum, underwent a secondaryopen diverticulectomy after failed attempt at rigid transoral endoscopic diverticulotomy. Herewe report this case with a review of literature.
