“…The reported major complication rate in the literature ranges from 0 to 38% (mean, 11.8%) for the open approaches [18,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] and from 0 to 20% (mean, 5.5%) for the various endoscopic approaches [6,8,[30][31][32][33]. The reported major complication rate for ESD is lower, averaging 2.6%.…”

“…Im Jahr 1995 berichteten zwei Arbeits gruppen erstmals über die flexibelendo skopische Schwellenspaltung [14,16], die nur unter Sedation durchgeführt wurde und keine Allgemeinnarkose erfordert. Trotz der schon damals beobachteten Komplikationen und insbesondere der Rezidivneigung wurde die flexibelendo skopische Schwellenspaltung insbesonde re bei Gastroenterologen sehr rasch popu lär.…”

In case of Zenker's diverticulum, treatment is indicated as soon as the diagnosis is established. Therapy should aim at the elimination of dysphagia and the symptoms of food retention and should reliably prevent recurrence. Currently, three different therapeutic approaches are applied: the classical option is open transcervical myotomy and diverticulectomy/diverticulopexy and alternatively stapled diverticulostomy with a linear stapler or flexible endoscopic diverticulostomy is propagated. As compared to the surgical (open) approach, rigid or flexible endotherapy is less invasive. However, endotherapy is not always feasible for all types of Zenker's diverticulum and the recurrence rate is high. Accordingly, open diverticulectomy is recommended in patients with an adequate life expectancy and good general operability.
