867 submucosal tunneling endoscopic septum division (stesd) for treatment of zenker's diverticulum

Symptomatic Zenker's Diverticulum (ZD) can be treated with open surgery, or alternatively through flexible endoscopic techniques. The conventional method of endoscopic septum division involves incision of the mucosa in addition to the muscular fibers that form the diverticular septum. Submucosal tunneling endoscopic septum division (STESD) is a novel method for treatment of ZD which maintains the mucosal integrity.
