Laparoscopic energy sealing devices have become more advanced in recent years to allow optimum tissue sealing with minimal thermal spread during division. These developments have re-kindled the discussion on trans-oral division of Zenker’s Diverticulum using energy based devices. We present two cases in this video to demonstrate the technique of using a commercial bipolar energy sealer for endoscopic assisted division of Zenker’s Diverticulum.
