Our experience in the surgical treatment of pharyngoesophageal diverticula [La nostra esperienza nel trattamento chirurgico dei diverticoli faringo-esofagei.]

The authors review a consecutive series of 7 pharyngo-oesophageal diverticula surgically treated from 1979 to 1994. In their opinion, surgery of diverticula to be effective must be preceded by dynamic and functional studies to outline the motor impairment often associated. Surgical indications and the different surgical techniques are also emphasized.
