  • Title: [Diagnosis and treatment of esophageal diverticula].
    Author: Voĭtenok NK, Khartonik AA.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1988 Feb; 140(2):15-20. PubMed ID: 3133866.
    Abstract:
    Based upon an analysis of clinical findings, literature data and personal experiences the authors consider that the main method of treatment of esophageal diverticula of greater size or complicated by bleedings, malignization, esophagitis and diverticulitis is diverticulectomy with the autotissue plasty. Of considerable significance in diagnostics are symptoms resulting from a mechanical action of the diverticula on the adjacent organs and tissues. Cardiodilatation should be performed to arrest cardiospasm in patients with epiphrenic diverticula during the preoperative period.
