Answers
6. a
The pharyngoesophageal diverticulum (Zenker’s diverticulum) is the most common esophageal diverticulum. Zenker’s diverticulum usually presents in patients older than 60 years.
Treatment can be done endoscopically or surgically. A commonly used surgical approach is cervical esophagomyotomy and resection of the diverticulum performed through an oblique left cervical incision that parallels the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle or a transverse cervical incision centered over the cricoid cartilage.
7. b
The transhiatal cervical anastomosis predisposes to a higher rate of leaks (13.6% for transhiatal vs. 7.2% for transthoracic)
Transthoracic resections, which involve a posterolateral thoracotomy, have a higher incidence of pulmonary complications compared with the transhiatal approach
A review of the literature with a meta-analysis,has shown that operative blood loss is significantly less during transhiatal esophagectomy compared with transthoracic esophagectomy
