[Surgical treatment of complicated esophageal diverticula].
In 1973-86 the authors encountered esophageal diverticula (ED) in 44 patients. The disease was clinically manifested in all cases. Concomitant diseases of the abdominal and thoracic organs were found in 27 patients; ED followed a complicated course in 23 patients. Progressive clinical signs due to increase in the size of the diverticulum and the presence of complications are considered to be indications for operation. The surgery was performed on 18 patients. Complications developed in 4 cases after diverticulectomy. There were no fatal outcomes.
