title: [Operative treatment and diagnostics of Zenker diverticulum using modern endoscopic technique].
abstract: The authors present results of examination and treatment of 272 patients with Zenker diverticulums of different localization. Features and problems in fibroesophagoscopy in patients with Zenker diverticulum are discussed. Surgical interventions with endoscopic assistance were fulfilled in 37 patients with diverticulum. A new way of endoscopic management of Zenker diverticulum using preparation "Disport" and the method of endoscopic incision of cricofaringeal muscle are proposed. Good clinical results of the treatment were obtained.
