Tratamento cirúrgico do divertículo de Zenker: diverticulopexia versus diverticulectomia

Abstract: InTRODUÇÃODivertículo faringoesofágico, descrito inicialmente por Ludlow (1769) 19 , ou divertículo de pulsão, por Zenker (1877) 26 , é herniação adquirida na mucosa faríngea através de um defeito muscular entre as fibras oblíquas do músculo constritor inferior da faringe e as transversas do músculo cricofaríngeo. Nesta localização, há área triangular bem delimitada, denominada de triângulo de Killian, na qual as fibras musculares estão rarefeitas, deixando exposta a mucosa da hipofaringe.

“…The Zenker`s diverticulum is a saccular deformity located in the inferoposterior wall of the pharynx mucosa, just above the upper esophageal sphincter, over a region in between the inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscle and the cricopharynx muscle, known as Killian`s triangle, which is the weakest area. When there is excessive pressure within the distal pharynx, its wall herniates through the triangle forming the diverticulum 1,24 .…”
