  • Title: Abdominal laparoscopic approach for thoracic epiphrenic diverticulum.
    Author: Chami Z, Fabre JM, Navarro F, Domergue J.
    Journal: Surg Endosc; 1999 Feb; 13(2):164-5. PubMed ID: 9918622.
    Abstract:
    The true incidence of epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum is unknown. Traditionally, diverticulectomy via a left thoracic approach has represented the gold standard. Trans-hiatal esophageal dissection under laparoscopy is feasible, but has not, to our knowledge, been applied before in the treatment of epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum.
