Özet
Zenker's diverticulum likely limits oral intake and may decrease the quality of life of the patient, leading to serious medical and social problems. Thus, surgical treatment is indicated in all symptomatic-patients. In this article, an up-to-date and minimal invasive endoscopic surgical technique in the treatment of Zenker's diverticulum is presented. We believe that transoral endoscopic diverticulostomy by endostapler is a safe and effective treatment of choice for selected patients with Zenker's diverticulum.
