lüll 20 years experience in the management of Zenker s diverticulum in a third-level hospital Ruiz-Tovar J; Perez de Oteyza J; Collado MV; Rojo R; Garcia Villanueva ARev Esp Enferm Dig 2006[Jun]; 98 (6): 429-35Zenker s diverticulum arises in the posterior wall of the pharynx, above the cricopharyngeal muscle, secondary to a functional cricopharyngeal disorder. We describe our experience with the management of Zenker s diverticulum from 1985 to this day in a third-level hospital. We review clinical data from 27 patients (78% males) with a mean age of 60.4 years. The most common clinical manifestations were dysphagia, regurgitation, syalorrhea, cough, and weight loss. All cases were diagnosed using an esophagogram. A diverticulectomy with cricopharingeal myotomy was performed in 74% of patients. Complications developed in 5 cases (21%), and the recurrence rate was 4% (1 of 3 cases, where myotomy was not performed).|Adult[MESH]|Aged[MESH]|Aged, 80 and over[MESH]|Anesthesia, General[MESH]|Cricoid Cartilage/surgery[MESH]|Digestive System Surgical Procedures[MESH]|Esophagoscopy[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Retrospective Studies[MESH]|Zenker Diverticulum/complications/diagnosis/*surgery[MESH] |
