In the Otolaryngology Department of Pomeranian Medical Academy in Szczecin since 1980-1999 14 patients with pharyngo-oesophageal diverticulum were diagnosed and treated. Diverticulectomy was performed in 13 cases. Not dangerous complications during the postoperative period were observed in four cases. In one case it was abscess in postoperative wound, in two cases fistula to soft tissue in prevertebral region and in one case paresis of vocal cord. In all these cases complications retreated spontaneous. We had not observed any recurrence of pharyngo-oesophageal diverticulum. In 6 cases control radiological examination was performed (from 2 months to 7 years after surgical treatment). In all cases we hadn't observed any recurrence of diverticulum. In one case radiological examination revealed diverticulosis in all digestive system. But even in this case we hadn't found recurrence of Zenker's diverticulum. In this paper we discuss other methods of treatment of pharyngoesophageal diverticulum.
