2 Fig 1 Preoperative and postoperative barium swallow radiographs. (A) Preoperative barium swallow radiograph shows significant retention of barium in a massive Zenker’s diverticulum, reaching the carina (10.0 × 6.0 cm), with minimal conduction of barium into the distal esophageal lumen. (B) Postoperative barium swallow radiograph demonstrates free flow of barium into the esophagus and shrinkage of the hypopharyngeal dilatation.

3 Fig 2 Surgical procedures with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. (A) An esophagostomy was made on the side wall of the esophagus facing the tip of the diverticulum. A diverticulum ostomy was made at the tip of the diverticulum. Next, an Endo-GIA 60 stapler (Ethicon Endosurg) was used to staple the common septum between the diverticulum and the esophagus in the midline. (B) With a single application of the Endo stapler, the side wall of the esophagus was sutured to the side wall of the diverticulum, creating a common cavity. (DIV. = diverticulum; ESO. = esophagus.)
