Abstract
Zenker's diverticulum is an uncommon cause of dysphagia arising from neuromuscular incordination of pharyngeal and upper esophageal musculature. Diverticulum is a pulsion type false diverticulum. In this article, we report a case of giant Zenker's diverticulum we encountered in our department for whom stapled diverticulectomy and cricopharyngeal myotomy was done. Also, we have reviewed relevant literature and discussed the same.
