An esophageal diverticulum is a small, abnormal pocket that develops in the wall of the esophagus, similar to a bulge on a pipe. This pocket can hold food, fluid, or mucus, which can cause a variety of problems.
Esophageal diverticula come in several forms, each with a specific cause:
The exact causes of esophageal diverticula are not always clear. However, they are often associated with :
These factors can lead to an increase in pressure in the esophagus, which favors the appearance of these pockets.
The manifestation of esophageal diverticula is variable and closely related to their size and location.
The most common symptoms of an esophageal diverticulum are:
The diagnosis of esophageal diverticula is based on a variety of medical tests:
In Turkey, the treatment of esophageal diverticula is individualized and depends on several factors: the size and location of the diverticulum, the presence and severity of symptoms, and the underlying causes.
Small, asymptomatic diverticula generally do not require specific treatment, while larger diverticula or those associated with symptoms such as dysphagia may require surgical or endoscopic intervention.
In addition, if the diverticulum is associated with another esophageal motility disorder, the latter may also need to be treated.
Treatment options include :
Dietary modification with soft foods and adequate hydration may relieve some symptoms.
Medications may be prescribed to control associated disorders such as gastric reflux or esophageal spasm.
Endoscopic diverticulotomy is a procedure in which the wall of the diverticulum is cut to allow it to communicate with the lumen of the esophagus, allowing its contents to drain and preventing complications.
If medical or endoscopic treatment fails, or in the case of a large diverticulum or serious complications, surgery may be considered.
There are two surgical options:
To ensure the success of the surgery, a thorough evaluation is performed prior to the procedure. This includes medical imaging tests (such as endoscopy, CT scan, or MRI) to visualize the diverticulum and plan the surgery optimally.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, which means you will be asleep throughout the procedure.
The main stages of the operation are as follows:
In the hours following surgery, the patient is admitted to the intensive care unit for close monitoring. The length of hospital stay varies depending on the complexity of the surgery and the patient's individual response to treatment.
A liquid or semi-liquid diet is gradually introduced to allow for a smooth resumption of eating.
Chest pain, relieved by medication, and difficulty swallowing are common during the healing process.
Re-education of swallowing skills may be necessary to restore normal eating habits.
Regular check-ups with the surgeon are recommended to monitor healing and detect any complications.
Resumption of normal activities is gradual and depends on each patient's tolerance.
Although rare, postoperative complications of esophageal diverticulum surgery may include:
It is important to report any unusual postoperative symptoms to your surgeon.
