Pharyngoesophageal diverticula; surgical treatment.
A series of 75 cases of pharyngoesophageal diverticula observed at the University of California Hospital between 1920 and 1955 was reviewed. In 64 cases surgical repair by either a one-stage or two-stage operation was carried out. Comparison of the results by both methods appears to justify the opinion that pharyngoesophageal diverticula should be repaired in one stage in practically all instances.
