They show differences in complications, hospitalization time and postoperative treatment. &lt;i&gt;Objectives:&lt;\/i&gt; We report our experiences and work out recommendations for postoperative care. &lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;\/i&gt; All charts of patients who were treated for Zenker\u2019s diverticulum at the University Department of Otolaryngology, Cologne, Germany, between 1983 and 2003, were reviewed retrospectively. &lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt; The median age was 58 years. Postoperatively, patients were fed nonorally and received postoperative antibiotic treatment. One patient developed mediastinitis and 3 patients a rise in body temperature. A control radiography disclosed pharyngeal leakages in 3 patients. Overall morbidity averaged 10%. &lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt; To avoid severe complications we recommend postoperative antibiotic treatment and parenteral feeding. In comparison to the stapler-assisted technique the use of the CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;\/sub&gt; laser allows a good view at the diverticular wall throughout the procedure. The transcervical technique should be reserved for cases of anatomic abnormalities or for complicated revision surgeries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000170379","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,10]],"date-time":"2008-11-10T10:48:13Z","timestamp":1226314093000},"page":"40-44","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Carbon Dioxide Laser Endoscopic Diverticulotomy for Zenker\u2019s Diverticulum: Results and Complications in a Consecutive Series of 40 Patients"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"71","author":[{"given":"Victor","family":"Helmstaedter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Engel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karl-Bernd","family":"Huttenbrink","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Orlando","family":"Guntinas-Lichius","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00005537-199706000-00004"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F01.mlg.0000249935.81808.df"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053%2Fhn.1999.v121.a94213"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055%2Fs-2001-16432"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00455-001-0099-z"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00005537-200403000-00025"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fhed.20201"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067%2Fmhn.2002.128556"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0194-5998%2899%2970242-1"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1365-2273.1996.tb01091.x"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00005537-200402000-00006"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00005537-200008000-00011"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067%2Fmsy.2002.119491"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fhed.20431"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258%2F002221503762624503"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00106-004-1059-3"}],"container-title":["ORL"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/170379","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/170379","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T23:58:35Z","timestamp":1745452715000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000170379"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,10]]},"references-count":16,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000170379","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0301-1569","1423-0275"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0301-1569"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1423-0275"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,10]]}}}
