Pharyngeal pouches are common, particularly in the elderly population, in whom they can cause significant morbidity. The advanced age of many patients and existing comorbidities mean that in some cases neither open nor endoscopic pouch stapling is possible. We present a technique of combined open and endoscopic pharyngeal pouch surgery, which may be used when other therapeutic options are limited.
咽囊很常见，尤其是在老年人群中，它们可能导致严重的发病率。许多患者年龄较大且存在合并症，这意味着在某些情况下，开放或内镜咽囊缝合术均不可行。我们提出了一种联合开放和内镜咽囊手术的技术，当其他治疗选择有限时，可使用该技术。
