Recurrent epiphrenic diverticulum after transabdominal diverticulectomy: report of a case and review of the literature.

Epiphrenic esophageal diverticula are uncommon esophageal disorders; reported recurrence after surgical treatment is rare. We describe a case of recurrence in a patient previously treated with a transhiatal diverticulectomy myotomy and fundoplication. Anatomic factors that may have contributed to this recurrence are discussed.
