We report an endoscopically assisted total diverticulectomy for Zenker's diverticulum. Skin incisions were made at the anterior axillary line, the center of the sternum, and the neck as portals for endoscopical instruments. The skin was retracted with hooks which provided an excellent view of the working space. The diverticulum was fully exposed and resected by using a multifire endoscopic stapler. This approach is minimally invasive in comparison with the conventional open cervical approach.

The endoscopic stapler has achieved widespread use in the management of Zenker's diverticulum owing to its ease of use and safety. However, complications associated with its use can and do occur. This study details the treatment course of 2 patients who underwent an endoscopic stapler approach to their Zenker's diverticulum complicated by the stapler's not sealing the mucosal edges. Although the patients' hospital stays were extended as a result, they suffered no long-term morbidity as a result of the complication.
