Minimally Invasive Approach for Mid-Esophageal and A Giant Epiphrenic Diverticula: Case Report

Case Report March 2016 90 Views

Esophageal diverticula are rare entities. We report our initial experience with a minimally invasive approach to mid-esophageal and epiphrenic diverticula in two cases. One patient with mid-esophageal diverticula was treated with esophagoscopy-guided thoracoscopic diverticulectomy. The other patient, with a large epiphrenic diverticulum, was treated with combined thoracoscopic diverticulectomy and laparoscopic esophagomyotomy and fundoplication. Thoracoscopic diverticulectomy is a safe and effective…
