Endoscopic Resection of Zenker's Diverticulum
We report an endoscopically assisted total diverticulectomy
for Zenker's diverticulum. Skin incisions were made at the
anterior axillary line, the center of the sternum, and the neck as
portals for endoscopical instruments. The skin was retracted with
hooks which provided an excellent view of the working space. The
diverticulum was fully exposed and resected by using a multifire
endoscopic stapler. This approach is minimally invasive in
comparison with the conventional open cervical approach
