IntroducciÓn: El divertículo de Zenker es una enfermedad rara en la población general. Su tratamiento puede llevarse a cabo mediante un enfoque endoscópico o quirúrgico.

Objetivo: Reportar la experiencia en el manejo del divertículo de Zenker en un centro de enseñanza de tercer nivel.

MÉtodos: Estudio retrospectivo, transversal, descriptivo, en el que fueron analizados los expedientes de todos los pacientes con diagnóstico de divertículo de Zenker desde la formación de la clínica de tracto digestivo superior del Hospital General de México Dr. Eduardo Liceaga.

Resultados: Se encontraron 14 casos con diagnóstico de divertículo de Zenker, 10 tratados con técnica transoral y 4 por cirugía abierta. Se presentaron tres recidivas en la técnica transoral y ninguna con la técnica abierta. En cuanto a las complicaciones, hubo una lesión dental con la técnica transoral y una fístula esofágica con cirugía abierta, que fue manejada con sonda nasoyeyunal colocada por endoscopia hasta el cierre espontáneo de la fístula.

ConclusiÓn: El grapado transoral es una técnica con buenos resultados estéticos, pero en nuestra experiencia presenta mayor recurrencia que la cirugía abierta, por lo que debemos realizar un seguimiento a largo plazo de nuestros pacientes.

Background: Zenker diverticulum is a rare disease in the general population. Its treatment can be carried out by either an endoscopic or surgical approach.

Objective: To report the experience in the management of the Zenker diverticulum in a tertiary education center.

Methods: Retrospective, cross-sectional, descriptive study in which the files of all patients with diagnosis of Zenker diverticulum were analyzed from the formation of the upper digestive tract clinic of the General Hospital of Mexico Dr. Eduardo Liceaga.

Results: We found 14 cases with diagnosis of Zenker diverticulum, 10 treated with transoral technique and 4 for open surgery. Three recurrences in the transoral technique, no relapse with open technique. In terms of complications, one dental lesion was presented in the technique transoral, and one esophageal fistula in open surgery, managed with a nasojejunal tube placed by endoscopy until the spontaneous closure of said fistula.

Conclusions: Transoral stapling is a technique with good aesthetic results. However, in our experience, it has a greater recurrence than open surgery, which is why we must carry out a long-term follow-up of our patients.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on patients with Zenker's diverticulum who were treated using cricopharyngeal myotomy with flexible endoscopic septal division.
  • A total of 15 patients underwent this procedure, with a reported clinical success rate of 80%, although 20% experienced a return of symptoms.
  • The findings suggest that despite new techniques in endoscopy, traditional cricopharyngeal myotomy is still an effective treatment for this condition.
