Epiphrenic oesophageal diverticulum is a rare disorder
affecting the distal oesophagus. Surgical techniques for this
condition evolve over time from open transthoracic and
trans-abdominal approaches to minimally invasive surgery.
We report a case of an 82-year-old male who presented with
symptomatic epiphrenic oesophageal diverticulum over the
last 1 year. He underwent laparoscopic transhiatal
diverticulectomy, myotomy and anterior partial
fundoplication and was discharged well. He remains
asymptomatic after a follow-up of 6 months.
