Diverticular endoscopic band ligation of Zenker’s diverticulum

A 35-year-old woman who reported a 1-year history of halitosis, regurgitation, and progressive dysphagia was referred to our department. Barium swallow showed a diverticulum in the upper esophagus ([Fig. 1]). Gastroscopy (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) revealed food remnants in a diverticulum that was 15 cm from the incisors ([Fig. 2 a]). After discussing all potential therapeutic options with the patient, she was offered endoscopic treatment.
