ABSTRACT
Zenker diverticulum is a rare condition with a reported prevalence of 0.01% to 0.11% in the general population. Challenges that can arise when treating a Zenker diverticulum through flexible endoscopy include maintaining a stable position and avoiding hemorrhage or perforation. Nevertheless, this approach is associated with less morbidity and a shorter hospital stay than conventional treatment consisting of open surgery or rigid endoscopic treatment with diverticuloscopy. We report a case of transparent cap-assisted flexible endoscopic septoplasty using a needle knife.
