Interventions
open, transcervical versus rigid endoscopic treatment
The goal of the project is to perform the first prospective, multi-institutional long-term (5 year) study comparing the outcomes of open, transcervical versus rigid endoscopic treatment of cervical esophageal diverticulum and cricopharyngeal dysfunction in resolving associated symptoms, complications, and recurrence rates of dysphagia surgery. This study will also include cricopharyngeal bar as it pertains to an early Zenker's diverticulum.
