Abstract

Prolonged cricopharyngeal dysfunction due to various causes can lead to severe dysphagia, aspiration, pneumonia, debilitation and subsequent pharyngoesophageal (Zenker's) diverticulum. This paper reports the successful use of cricopharyngeal myotomy with diverticulopexy for management of huge Zenker's diverticulum on five high-risk patients. The advantages of this method are immediate swallowing, short hospitalization, and avoidance of serious complication.
