This multi-center international study evaluated the effectiveness of peroral endoscopic myotomy (Z-POEM) for treating Zenker's diverticulum. Z-POEM involves creating a submucosal tunnel and completely dividing the septum between the esophagus and diverticulum. The study found Z-POEM had high clinical success rates of over 90% at 6 months with few complications. Recurrence rates were low. The researchers concluded Z-POEM is a safe and effective alternative to surgery for Zenker's diverticulum that allows for complete septal division. However, larger prospective studies are still needed.
