Abstract

Endoscopic stapling diverticulotomy is an increasingly popular treatment option for pharyngeal pouch. It has been our treatment of choice for the condition for over three years. Of the over 50 cases treated using the technique, three were performed for recurrent pouches – two following previous endoscopic stapling diverticulotomy and one following previous external excision. We describe these three cases to highlight the advantages and effectiveness of the technique in recurrence cases.
