Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of open surgical techniques in the treatment of Zenker diverticulum. Study Design. Case series with chart review. Setting. Academic tertiary referral center. Subjects and Methods. Fifty-four patients with Zenker diverticulum were treated using a transcervical approach. Three with a Brombart I diverticulum underwent a simple myotomy of...

Killian-Jamieson diverticulum (KJD) is rare hypopharyngeal defect. As in other forms of esophageal diverticuli (i.e., Zenker's), recent literature has described minimally invasive endoscopic approaches to its management.1, 2 We present a case of a 62-year-old female with symptoms consistent with an esophageal diverticulum. A barium swallow study was consistent with a KJD. The patient was brough...

BACKGROUND Different surgical techniques have been indicated for the management of Zenker's diverticulum (ZD), including diverticulectomy, diverticulopexy, and diverticular inversion, with or without myotomy, and myotomy alone. More recently, minimally invasive techniques (such as the transoral endoscopic approach) have become increasingly reliable for this disorder. We therefore conducted this...

The aim is to report a rare case of squamous cell carcinoma arising in a urinary bladder diverticulum and present recent literature overview of treatment options. A 56-year-old man presented with intermittent hematuria. Ultrasound examination indicated primary carcinoma in the urinary bladder diverticulum. Diagnosis was confirmed with cystoscopy and computed tomography. Transvesical diverticule...
