Surgical Outcome in 87 Patients With Zenker's Diverticulum

Abstract: Surgical treatment of Zenker's diverticulum is controversial because many different procedures exist. We retrospectively reviewed 87 consecutive patients surgically treated for Zenker's diverticulum at a tertiary care institution from 1976 through 1993. Four surgical procedures were performed: cricopharyngeal myotomy alone (n = 16), excision (hand-sewn) plus myotomy (n = 51), excision (stapler) plus myotomy (n = 11), and diverticulopexy plus myotomy (n = 9). There were three surgical mortalities (3.5%) and a c… Show more

“…Scher stapled reports [15,18,19]. In terms of open procedures for ZD, literature reports fi nd that relief of symptoms was typically found in greater than 80% of patients [20]. Thus our results indicate that our surgical treatment effi cacy is comparable to both other endoscopic reports and results of open ZD surgery.…”

“…In comparing the treatment modalities, most series show that the endoscopic and external approaches are equally effective treatments. [11][12][13][14] However, there is no doubt that the external approach has a higher complication rate, including vocal cord paralysis, mediastinitis, fistula formation, glottic oedema and stricture formation. 11,15,16 However, these studies were retrospective, lacked criteria for selecting patients, and the procedures were performed by a large number of surgeons from several specialities.…”

“…En los pacientes con divertículo de Zenker la técnica quirúrgica abierta clásicamente realizada corresponde a una diverticulectomía a través de una cervicotomía lateral izquierda con miotomía cricofaríngea cuyos resultados han exhibido tasas de resolución de los síntomas superior a un 90% 45,[48][49][50][51][52] . Las complicaciones varían entre un 10 a un 30%, asociándose a una mortalidad mínima [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53] .…”
