Endoscopic Suturing Mitigates Surgery Needs for Large Zenker’s Diverticula

Endoscopic suturing proves a game-changer for large Zenker’s diverticula, leading to enhanced outcomes. A study of 75 patients revealed that those undergoing z-poem with endoscopic suturing faced no postoperative interventions, compared to a significant portion of patients with the clip closure option. The technical and clinical success rates were 100% and 89.5%, respectively. Notably, dysphagia scores worsened for those with diverticula over 4 cm post-surgery, highlighting the need for better approaches in this patient group.
