Zpoem With Direct Mucosotomy On The Septum, To Facilitate Access And Closure Of The Tunnel

Zenker’s diverticulum treatment by POEM technique allows a complete myotomy to be performed, reducing the risk of recurrence and improving safety. There are different ways to create the mucosotomy, in the video we present a direct access on the septum that facilitates the difficult maneuverability in the narrow pharyngeal space and the closure of it once it is finished. Once the mucosotomy is done, two tunnels are created, one on the diverticular side and the other on the esophageal side to completely isolate the cricopharyngeal muscle, a complete myotomy of the septum is performed, and the mucosotomy is closed.
