Surgery is the most definitive therapy for the<unk> 's diverticulum (ZD). If small and asymptomatic, no treatment is necessary. Larger, symptomatic cases of<unk> 's diverticulum have been traditionally treated by neck surgery to resect the diverticulum and incise the cricopharyngeus muscle. However, in recent times non-surgical endoscopic techniques have gained more importance, and the currently preferred treatment is endoscopic stapling i.e. closing of the diverticulum via a stapler inserted through a tube in the oral cavity. This may be performed through a fiberoptic endoscope. Other non-surgical treatment modalities exist, such as endoscopic laser, but recent evidence has shown it to be less effective than stapling.
