AB  - The  indications  for  repairing  Zenker’s  diverticulum  are  partial  obstruction,  dysphagia,  a  choking  sensation,  pain  on  swallowing,  or  coughing  spells  associated  with  aspirations  of  fluid  from  the  diverticulum.  The  diagnosis  is  confirmed  by  a  barium  swallow.  The  pouch  appears  suspended  by  a  narrow  neck  from  the  esophagus.  Zenker’s  diverticulum  is  a  hernia  of  mucosa  through  a  weak  point  located  in  the  midline  of  the  posterior  wall  of  the  esophagus  where  the  inferior  constrictors  of  the  pharynx  meet  the  cricopharyngeal  muscle  (FIGURE  1).
