The standard treatment for Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) is surgical, but transendoscopic section of the diverticular spur has also been performed with good results. We treated two patients with the injection of 300-350 IU of botulinum toxin type A (Dysport) into the diverticular spur. Both patients were dysphagic because of a large ZD. A few hours after the treatment, the patients were able to return to a normal, nonrestricted diet. They remain symptom-free 12 and 3 months later, respectively. No complications have been observed. As a result of its ease of application and efficacy, this treatment can be recommended for patients who are unable to undergo the surgical operations; it can be considered a valid alternative to the other endoscopic procedures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
