Abstract

Killian-Jamieson diverticulum is a rare disease that is seen at the cervical esophagus. It has quite a different pathogenesis and anatomical location compared with that of Zenker’s diverticulum. The pathophysiology and strategy for treating Killian-Jamieson diverticulum are not fully understood. We performed surgery using one incision for treating a case of Killian-Jamieson diverticulum and we review the medical literature that’s related to this unusual diverticulum.
