366 cap-assisted endoscopic septotomy of zenker diverticulum (zd): early and long-term outcome

Multiple therapeutic modalities including surgery, rigid and flexible endoscopy have been developed to manage ZD. Minimally invasive flexible endoscopic septotomy (FES) techniques, carried out under deep sedation, have been increasingly favored over the past 20 years. Among FES, CAP-assisted septotomy using the hook knife has been reported as safe and effective even though long-term outcome data are scanty.
