Abstract
A review was undertaken of 103 patients with pharyngeal pouch presenting over a 10-year period. Management was conservative in 35 patients and 68 patients were treated using external diverticulectomy and cricopharyngeus myotomy. The fistula rate was 8.9% and median hospital stay was 7 days. The results of this large series are compared to other reported series, and a long-term follow-up showing clinical outcome is reported.Entities:
