Abstract
The traditional way to tackle Zenkers diverticulum (ZD) has been flexible endoscopic septum division (FESD). Although, a technically easy procedure, FESD has high rates of recurrence due to the inherent fear of perforation leading to premature termination of the procedure leaving behind residual septum. Recently, the concept of per oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has been found useful for managing diverticular diseases of esophagus and has been termed Diverticular POEM (D-POEM). Preliminary studies have shown promising results for D-POEM.
