518 Diverticulectomy With Extended Miotomy for Treatment of Esophageal Intrathoracic Diverticulum

Abstract

The treatment of thoracic esophageal diverticulum is based on removing the diverticulum and treating the possible cause that gave rise to it. We associate a myotomy below the area of the diverticulum to treat any difficulty in emptying and decrease the esophageal pressure that may have led to the diverticulum. Methods We show a video how to manage the esophagel diverticulum. Results We show a video how to manage the esophagel diverticulum. Conclusion The diverticulectomy should be associated with an extended miotomy. Video https://www.dropbox.com/s/c1m2r0ic4mw4cb5/Bianchi%20ET%20-%20diverticulectomy.mp4?dl=0.
