With the advent of minimally invasive surgery, incisionless surgery, and third-space endoscopy, the treatment for Zenker's diverticulum has also moved toward less invasive techniques METHODS: New incisionless per oral techniques can be applied for cricopharyngeal myotomy in Zenker's diverticulum.
Five patients underwent Zenker's diverticulum per oral endoscopic myotomy (Z-POEM) without complications, minimal discomfort, and narcotic consumption, with complete resolution of their symptoms by history and Eckardt scores.
Z-POEM is performed entirely endoscopically with very little associated pain or complication rates, with short-term follow-up having excellent functional and symptomatic results.
随着微创外科、无切口手术和第三空间内镜技术的出现,Zenker 憩室的治疗也朝着创伤更小的技术发展。
Zenker 憩室的环咽肌切开术可采用新的经口无切口技术。
5 例患者接受经口内镜 Zenker 憩室肌切开术(Z-POEM),无并发症,疼痛和麻醉药物消耗最小,症状完全缓解,根据病史和 Eckardt 评分判断。
Z-POEM 完全在内镜下进行,相关疼痛或并发症发生率极低,短期随访的功能和症状结果极好。
