Pressure abnormalities in patients with Zenker's diverticulum using pharyngeal high‐resolution manometry
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology"
DOI: 10.1002/lio2.434
Abstract: Zenker's diverticulum is associated with reduced cricopharyngeal compliance and abnormal intrabolus pressure. However, it is unclear how the pharynx compensates for these deficits. Developments in manometric technology have improved our ability to capture pharyngeal pressure… read more here.

Outcomes in modified transoral resection of diverticula for Zenker’s diverticulum
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology"
DOI: 10.1007/s00405-019-05374-z
Abstract: PurposeTransoral resection of Zenker’s diverticulum (TORD) was first reported in 2010. We present results for our modified approach to transoral resection (MTORD)—full-thickness cricopharyngeal myectomy, diverticulum sac excision, and suture closure of the pharyngotomy—and evaluate its safety… read more here.
