Multimodal Endoscopic Management of Esophageal Perforations as a Complication of Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy for a Zenker's Diverticulum. [PDF]
Zenker's diverticulum develops because of a weakness in Killian's triangle, leading to a mucosal and submucosal herniation. Its treatment has evolved from morbid surgical interventions to safer endoscopic techniques such as peroral endoscopic myotomy (Z ...

Zenker’s peroral endoscopic myotomy with myomectomy and ablation: a minimally invasive and effective technique for Zenker’s diverticulum resolution [PDF]
Background and Aims: Zenker's peroral endoscopic myotomy (Z-POEM) for Zenker's diverticulum is an effective first-line treatment; however, residual dysphagia may persist because of a remaining mucosal pouch.

Zenker's diverticulum: advancing beyond the tunnel. [PDF]
Background and Aims Zenker’s diverticulum (ZD) is attributed to a poorly compliant cricopharyngeus muscle, and the mainstay of treatment is a cricopharyngeal myotomy.

Peroral endoscopic myotomy (Z-POEM) versus flexible endoscopic septotomy (FES) for treatment of Zenker's diverticulum: does either make the cut? A systematic review and meta-analysis of outcomes. [PDF]
Background Endoscopic treatments of symptomatic Zenker’s diverticulum (ZD) include flexible endoscopic septotomy (FES) and, more recently, peroral endoscopic myotomy (Z-POEM). Data comparing these techniques are limited.

Open Cervical Approach for Zenker's Diverticulum: A Retrospective Case Series. [PDF]
Zenker’s diverticulum (ZD) is an acquired outpouching of the mucosa and the submucosa through a point of weakness between the inferior pharyngeal constrictor and the cricopharyngeus muscles. It commonly presents with dysphagia, regurgitation, and halitosis.
