Laparoscopic-thoracoscopic esophageal resection in the treatment of giant epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum (Ivor Lewis operation): Case report.

Introduction: Complicated esophageal diverticulum is an extremely rare disease. The most widespread surgical tactic in such cases is drainage of the mediastinum and the position of a feeding gastrostomy or enterostomy. Our objective was to demonstrate the possibility of performing a one-step operation in case of giant esophageal diverticulum with necrotic diverticulitis and sepsis on the background of dilatation of the esophagus.
