Meckel’s diverticulum is a congenital true diverticulum of the distal ileum, occurring in 2–3 % of the population. It is a vestigial remnant of the omphalomesenteric duct, which normally becomes obliterated between the fifth and the seventh week of gestation.

The treatment of patients with a Zenker's diverticulum is endoscopic or surgical. Whichever procedure is chosen, the most important component of the procedure is a thorough cricopharyngeal myotomy. This can be accomplished either externally through a neck incision or internally with an endoscope.

The cricopharyngeal diverticulum or Zenker's diverticulum is the most frequent type of diverticulum of the upper gastrointestinal tract. It occurs mostly in elderly patients. The predominant symptoms are dysphagia and regurgitation which may result in malnutrition and aspiration pneumonia, the latter eventually being life threatening.

Abstract 1.1. A brief resume of the present knowledge of Meckel's diverticulum has been presented and twenty-four additional cases added to the literature. 2.2. The thesis that these patients will rarely be diagnosed preoperatively has been proven and the fact that these will almost invariably be found at operation for an acute abdomen, usually ...

Zenker’s diverticulum is a pouch protruding posteriorly above the upper esophageal sphincter, in the Killian’s triangle, an area of relative weakness. Zenker’s diverticulum was thought, for many years, to occur as a result of cricopharyngeal incoordination but more recent evidence points to poor upper sphincter compliance with diminished sphincter ...

Meckel's diverticulum is a cause of significant morbidity and mortality. Often this is related to the delay in diagnosis. Based on a US population of 200 million people and a 2% incidence, there are 4 million Meckel's diverticula present waiting to cause symptoms.

Abstract Fifty cases of Meckel's diverticulum are presented and analyzed. The literature is consulted for comparison of this series with the series of other authors. The embryologic background is briefly given. The authors' experience in dealing with these patients is summarized and suggestions are made for improvement in diagnosis and treatment.

The Zenker’s diverticulum is an out pouching of the hypopharynx arising between the fibers of the cricopharyngeus inferiorly and the inferior constrictor superiorly. This region of herniation is known as Killian’s triangle. Patients often present with a longstanding history of gradually increasing dysphagia of both solids and liquids.

Historical background The first description of a diverticulum of the small intestine is attributed to Fabricius Hildanus in 1598. In 1742, a small bowel diverticulum strangulated in an inguinal hernia was reported by Littre. In 1809, the German comparative anatomist Johann Friedrich Meckel the Younger first published his observations on anatomy and ...
