Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluation the success of endoscopic treatment of Zenker's diverticulum using a LigaSure device (thermal fusion of vessels) via a measure of swallowing function at 12 months post-surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Our secondary objectives are:

A. To evaluate short-term (pain, fever, time to start of eating) and medium-term (weight, swallowing) post-operative parameters.

B. To evaluate the prevalence of post-operative complications.
