Abstract

Zenker's diverticulum is the most common type of diverticulum in the esophagus which is a pouch protruding to posterior above the upper esophageal sphincter. Most patients are elderly and typical symptoms are dysphagia, chronic cough, regurgitation, halitosis and weight loss. The best diagnostic procedure is a barium swallow with special attention to the cricopharyngeal area. The most common treatments are open surgical diverticulectomy with or without cricopharyngeal myotomy. Recently, cricopharyngeal myotomy and diverticulectomy using flexible endoscopes has been described as a treatment option for symptomatic Zenker's diverticulum. In this retrospective study 5 patients (5 men) with an average age of 63 (56- 72) years with Zenker's diverticulum were included. All patients were treated with an open transcervical approach between 1996 and 2006.

Özet

Üst özefagus sfinkteri yukarısında arkaya doğru çıkan bir poş olarak tariflenen Zenker divertikülü, özefagusun en sık rastlanan divertikülüdür. En sık yaşlı kimseleri etkiler ve tipik semptomlar, disfaji, kronik öksürük, regürjitasyon, ağız kokusu ve kilo kaybıdır. Tanı koymada en iyi yöntem, krikofaringeal alana dikkatli bir şekilde yapılan baryumlu grafidir. Krikofaringeal myotomili veya myotomisiz divertikülektomi en sık kullanılan tedavi şeklidir. Son yıllarda fleksibl endoskopik yöntemler ile semptomatik hastalarda myotomi ve divertikülektomi tarif edilmiştir. Bu retrorospektif çalışmada yaş ortalaması 63 (56-72) olan ve Zenker divertikülü nedeniyle kliniğimizde 1996 ve 2006 yıllarında transservikal yaklaşımla ameliyat edilen 5 erkek hasta sunuldu.
