Esophageal diverticula surgery in Es Semara

Visceral and digestive surgeon

Esophageal diverticula are a rare pathology requiring few indications for surgery; in fact, only very symptomatic diverticula should be operated on. These diverticula can be located in the cervical esophagus, it is called Zenker's diverticulum, but they can also be located on all levels of the thoracic or abdominal esophagus. These diverticula are always contemporaneous with motor disorders of the esophagus which can be the cause or the consequence. Treatment of the diverticulum consists of diverticulectomy combined with downstream esophageal myotomy. An anti-reflux gesture can be associated in the event of objectified reflux.
