Abstract:
The traditional approach to diagnosis and management of Zenker’s diverticulum is open surgical treatment. More recently, however, endoscopic technique is also frequently used for Zenker’s diverticulum because it has advantages of shortening operation time, postoperative hospitalization and reducing the complication such as recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. A 75-year-old male, who was diagnosed with Zenker’s diverticulum, underwent a secondary open diverticulectomy after failed attempt at rigid transoral endoscopic diverticulotomy. Here we report this case with a review of literature.
