title: [Thoracoscopic resection of epiphrenic esophageal diverticula by an intracavitary/endoluminal combined intervention].
abstract: Epiphrenic oesophageal diverticula are of the pulsation type, the underlying cause is a motility disorder. Resection is indicated by severe symptoms like dysphagia, regurgitation or aspiration and should be performed after endoscopic dilatative treatment of the neuromotor disturbance. Thoracoscopic resection under endoluminal endoscopic surveillance is considered to be a reliable procedure with low morbidity for the patient.
