Currently, no standardized endoscopic method specifically addresses this issue. We present a novel approach: Z-POEM with adjunctive myomectomy and mucosal ablation (Z-POEM-MA), designed to achieve complete anatomical resolution in a single session.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>A 67-year-old man with progressive dysphagia and recurrent aspiration pneumonia was found to have a 4-cm Zenker’s diverticulum. He underwent Z-POEM-MA, which included standard submucosal tunneling and cricopharyngeal myotomy, followed by myomectomy using a polypectomy snare, and subsequent mucosal ablation with argon plasma coagulation.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The procedure lasted 46 minutes with no adverse events. The patient resumed oral intake within 48 hours. Postoperative barium esophagram 1 month postoperatively showed complete resolution of the diverticulum. At 6 months, the patient remained asymptomatic, and upper endoscopy confirmed the absence of recurrence.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Z-POEM-MA is a feasible, safe, and potentially more effective technique compared with conventional Z-POEM, which targets both the muscular and mucosal components of Zenker’s diverticulum. This approach may improve outcomes in patients with large pouches. Further studies are warranted to validate its long-term efficacy and reproducibility.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55855,"journal":{"name":"VideoGIE","volume":"11 5","pages":"Pages 174-177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147807928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
