Abstract
Mid and distal diverticula of the esophagus are very rare entities with a prevalence of approximately 0.015% [1]. Traditionally, patients with symptomatic mid and distal esophageal diverticula have been treated surgically via laparotomy or thoracotomy including resection of the diverticulum, myotomy, and anti-reflux procedure. The amount of myotomy and the need of additional anti-reflux procedure are continuously discussed in this topic [2].
