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.
