Zenker‘s diverticula and epiphrenic diverticula are esophageal pulsion diverticula. Even though various treatment options are available (open or endoscopic surgery, conservative treatment), no clear treatment recommendations exist. This 20-year follow-up examines the long-term outcome of patients treated for their esophageal diverticula focusing on morbidity, quality-of-life and recurrence rate. In light of emerging therapies such as (Z)-POEM, this work aims to assist in making the best individual therapeutic decision.
