Abstract

This article discusses a new technique called Modified Per-Oral Endoscopic Septo-Miotomy (m-POESM) for the management of Zenker Diverticulum (ZD). The study followed eight patients who underwent the m-POESM procedure and found that it was successful in achieving clinical success in all cases. The technique involves a direct incision of the septum with a Hook Knife and a cricopharyngeal myotomy. The study concludes that m-POESM is a simple and effective technique with a favorable safety rate for ZD management, but further validation is needed through larger cohort studies.
