Zenker ’s Diverticulum (ZD) is a false diverticulum located at the junction of hypopharynx and esophagus, presenting with dysphagia and regurgitation of undigested food. Recently, flexible endoscopic myotomy has been increasingly performed but there is a wide variation in the myotomy technique, predomina ntly related to equipment availability, technical expertise and personal preference. Outcomes data regarding endoscopic myotomy for ZD is also limited. The main aim of this study was to assess technical success, clinical success, and adverse events after endoscopic myotomy for ZD.
