[Pharyngo-esophageal diverticula. Treatment and results].

27 patients were seen in the ENT department of Hopital Laennec for pharyngo-oesophageal diverticulum between 1970 and 1987. 25 patients were operated: diverticulectomy in 14 cases, diverticulopexy in 10 cases. Cricopharyngeal myotomy was performed in every case. In one case, myotomy was the only treatment. The postoperative course and the functional results were analysed in the 3 groups. The operative indications are discussed. The functional results were excellent regardless of the technique used (95.8% in the present series).
