Abstract: The diverticulectomy with myotomy and posterior pharyngeal closure with linear surgical stapler proved to be an effective technique, offering a lower risk of post-operative complications and improving the overall quality of life.

“…The treatment of this disease is fundamentally surgical, being based on its ethiopathogenesis in such way that most authors have been practicing diverticulectomy followed by myotomy of the cricopharyngeal muscle 1 , 6 , 9 , 11 , 26 . Other authors have been practicing diverticulopexy, associated with cricopharyngeal myotomy, demonstrating similar results when compared with diverticulectomy and myotomy 14 , 15 , 18 .…”

“…Little national emphasis has been given on the use of mechanical suture in the closing of the pharynx after diverticulum resection, except for a recent study done by Aquino et al. 6 , which demonstrated good results with this kind of procedure. However, there was no comparison of this type of suture with the manual type to evaluate whether the mechanical technique would be more advantageous.…”

“…Hence, the anastomotic dehiscences in this organ appear with a higher incidence, prolonging the permanence of patients in hospitals as well as increasing hospital costs, causing greater suffering for the patients and showing a relationship with stenosis, which is another obstacle that follows the esophageal surgery 5 , 18 . On the other hand, the mechanical suture demonstrating more safety, precision and fastness, predisposes to a lower incidence of anastomotic fistula, as it has been demonstrated in the literature, both in benign and malignant diseases, being able to improve the quality of life 2 , 4 , 5 , 9 , 20 , 21 , 30 . This preference can be justified by less ischemia, less extensive tissue necrosis and a more pronounced neoangiogenesis, as has been demonstrated in experimental studies 4 , 15 , 18 , 32 .…”
