Pathogenesis and methods of treatment of Zenker's diverticulum.

van Overbeek JJ.

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Martini Hospital, Groningen, The Netherlands.

In the literature, various theories concerning the cause of Zenker's diverticulum have been propounded. I believe that an anatomic predisposition plays a prominent role in the pathogenesis. This conclusion will be discussed in light of a study of the literature and characteristics of a series of 646 patients with Zenker's diverticulum. The current methods of treatment by an external surgical approach, as well as the (micro)endoscopic procedures, are described.
