Three with a Brombart I diverticulum underwent a simple myotomy of the cricopharyngeal muscle. Myotomy was combined with a diverticulum inversion in 14 patients and myotomy with diverticulectomy was performed in 37 patients. The surgical procedures were compared with regard to mean anesthesia time, duration of hospitalization, overall complication rate and rate of serious complications, recurrence rate, and follow\u2010up results.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Hospitalization times were significantly shorter in the inversion group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> =. 024). No statistically significant differences were observed between the transcervical modalities for any of the other variables investigated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Inversion is an effective modality and is by definition less traumatic than traditional diverticulectomy. Although the size of the diverticulum appeared to be a helpful criterion, careful intraoperative evaluation is the key element in deciding which transcervical procedure should be used. In the authors\u2019 view, inversion always should be considered if the individual anatomy of the diverticulum sac (in terms of pharyngeal pouch size and intactness of the mucosa) allows it.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599811435304","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,1,21]],"date-time":"2012-01-21T20:36:36Z","timestamp":1327178196000},"page":"725-729","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Evaluation of the Different Transcervical Approaches for Zenker Diverticulum"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"146","author":[{"given":"Konstantinos","family":"Mantsopoulos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery University of Erlangen\u2013Nuremberg Medical School Erlangen Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Georgios","family":"Psychogios","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery University of Erlangen\u2013Nuremberg Medical School Erlangen Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julian","family":"K\u00fcnzel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery University of Erlangen\u2013Nuremberg Medical School Erlangen Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Johannes","family":"Zenk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery University of Erlangen\u2013Nuremberg Medical School Erlangen Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Heinrich","family":"Iro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery University of Erlangen\u2013Nuremberg Medical School Erlangen Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Koch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery University of Erlangen\u2013Nuremberg Medical School Erlangen Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,1,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-200403000-00025"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-199711000-00003"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0194-5998(99)70242-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348940811700712"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2003-38528"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_2","first-page":"53","article-title":"Zenker\u2019s diverticulum","volume":"12","author":"Gullane PJ","year":"1983","journal-title":"J Otolaryngol"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_2","first-page":"128","article-title":"Le diverticule pharyngo\u2010oesophagien de Zenker.
