Significant technical changes and a shift toward transoral approach have occurred in the management of Zenker’s diverticulum over past three decades. Transoral stapling is already an established commonly performed procedure. Zenker peroral endoscopic myotomy (Z-POEM) endoscopy septotomy (Z-POES) are innovative techniques that rapidly spreading replacing more traditional therapeutic options. Thi...

The established management of epiphrenic diverticula combines diverticulectomy with myotomy of the distal esophagus including the lower esophageal sphincter. We report a patient with prompt recurrence of an epiphrenic diverticulum after laparoscopic transhiatal diverticulectomy associated with esophagomyotomy and partial posterior fundoplication due to an incomplete myotomy.

INTRODUCTION The majority of diverticular bladder tumors (DBT) are urothelial. Due to the lack of the muscular layer in the diverticulum, the progression of these tumors is easier than in the bladder wall. CASE REPORT The case of invasive DBT with painless hematuria is presented. The patient was treated with diverticulectomy. CONCLUSION Unifocal Stage-T3 DBTs can be successfully treated wit...

Diverticulum of the abdominal esophagus is an extremely rare disease. We present a patient with diverticulum of the abdominal esophagus who could be treated successfully by a laparoscopic diverticulectomy with supporting intra-operative endoscopy. In patient with epiphrenic diverticulum, diverticulectomy with myotomy and partial fundoplication is recommended as surgical treatment. This procedur...

Our report details a robotically assisted laparoscopic calyceal diverticulectomy in a 14 year old female. This novel approach has not previously been described in the pediatric population. Our patient presented with hematuria and flank pain after an episode of blunt trauma. Robotically assisted laparoscopic diverticulectomy was successfully performed and the patient discharged home the followin...

INTRODUCTION Pseudodiverticulum of the urinary bladder is mostly a complication of subvesical obstruction (SO). The gold standard of treatment was open diverticulectomy with adenectomy. A more contemporary resolution is endoscopic, in two steps: the first transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), the second laparoscopic diverticulectomy (LD). AIM To present a one-session procedure - pho...

Laparoscopic calyceal diverticulectomy Cristina Bonastre, Gabriel Briones Hospital Son Llàtzer, Department of Urology, Palma de Mallorca, Spain Calyceal diverticulum are cystic cavities within renal parenchyma lined by nonsecretory epithelium and communicating with the collecting system via a narrow channel. Usually they are asymptomatic and under one centimeter. The indications of surgical tre...

Congenital diverticulum of male urethra is an uncommon entity. Neglected management complicates the process in the form of calculi formation and recurrent urinary infection. A 10-year-old boy presented with urinary voiding disturbances and development of a painless hard lump at the penoscrotal junction. Imaging demonstrated presence of anterior urethral diverticulum with contained calculi in it...

Zenker's diverticulum (ZD), an acquired false pharyngoesophageal diverticulum, is a rare pathology. The prevalence of ZD among the general population is believed to be between 0.01% and 0.11%. Most patients are elderly men with symptoms of dysphagia. The most common treatments are open surgical diverticulectomy with or without cricopharyngeal myotomy and endoscopic myotomy. The authors report t...
