title: Repair of a high esophageal stenosis with a mucosal flap of a Zenker's diverticle.
abstract: A patient presented an esophageal stenosis due to lasertherapy by Dohlmann's technique for the treatment of a Zenker's diverticle. This esophageal stenosis has been repaired by taking a mucosal flap out of the Zenker's diverticle. The technique is presented in this paper, together with some analogue data from literature.
