Abstract

Diverticula in the middle and lower thirds of the esophagus are a rare disorder, frequently associated with esophageal motility disturbances. For symptomatic patients transthoracic diverticulectomy with or without Heller's myotomy is recommended. Here we report two cases of symptomatic esophageal diverticula which were both treated successfully by a laparoscopic transhiatal approach.
