Zenker per-oral endoscopic myotomy (Z-POEM): The ideal first-line therapy for treatment of Zenker diverticulum
We demonstrate significant and sustained relief of patient-reported outcomes/symptoms after Z-POEM, including for small diverticuli, with low complication rates. Its safety and versatility has made it the new standard of care locally; Z-POEM can be adopted by third-space endoscopy-trained thoracic surgeons.
