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.
由于各种原因导致的环咽肌功能障碍持续时间过长,可导致严重吞咽困难、误吸、肺炎、身体衰弱以及随后的咽食管(Zenker)憩室。本文报告了对5例高危患者成功采用环咽肌切开术加憩室固定术治疗巨大Zenker憩室的情况。该方法的优点是吞咽立即恢复、住院时间短以及避免严重并发症。
