Comparison of Flexible Endoscopic Cricopharyngeal Myectomy and Myotomy Approaches for Zenker Diverticulum Repair a

Incision of the cricopharyngeal (CP) muscle with flexible endoscopy is an important approach for Zenker diverticulum (ZD) repair with symptomatic resolution in approximately 90% of cases, but recurrence has been reported in up to 20%. We report our experience with a new endoscopic myectomy of the CP muscle and compare the outcome with conventional myotomy of ZD.
