Overview
Historical Perspective
The history of the ZD is as follows:[1][2]
- It was named in 1877 by German pathologist Friedrich Albert von Zenker.
- The first description of Zenker's diverticulum dates back to 1769 by Ludlow
- A century later, a German pathologist, Friedrich Albert von Zenker, recognized and further characterized the physiopathology of this diverticulum.
- In 1877 Zenker and Ziemssen reviwed the world literature on the Zenker's diverticulum.
- In 1840 Rokitansky first described traction diverticula of the thoracic esophagus.
- Until 1816 publication,ZD was thought to be congenital or traumatic in origin.
- In 1877, von Zeimssen, Professor in Munich, published "Krankheiten des Oesophagus" on the esophageal ulceration and diverticula.
- Preliminary thoughts on managing pharyngoesophageal diverticula originated as early as 1830, when Bell proposed the establishment of a fistula to empty the diverticulum of its contents.
- The first recorded practice of this was by Nicoladoni in Vienna in 1877.
- An unsuccessful attempt at excision of the diverticulum, first suggested by Kluge in 1850, was performed in 1884 by Niehans.
- The first successful resection was by Wheeler in 1885, followed by additional favorable reports of von Bergmann and Kocher in 1892 and Butlin and Billroth in 1893.
- In 1896 Girard devised a method of invaginating the diverticulum into the esophagus, oversewing the resultant dimple.
- In some cases this procedure led to very satisfactory results, although at least one complete recurrence was documented by Waggett and Davis [17] in a patient after a fit of violent sneezing.
- Diverticulopexy was also described in this early period by Schmid, and was first performed by Hill in 1917.
- In 1910 that Stetton was able to publish a list of all cases operated on up to that time organized according to surgical technique.
- These methods included primary excision, excision after preliminary gastrostomy, invagination of the sac, mucosal destruction without excision, and two-stage excision.
