Iatrogenic perforation in endoscopic stapling diverticulotomy for pharyngeal pouches.
Journal of Laryngology and Otology 2003 Februrary
In pharyngeal pouch surgery, the relatively new technique of endoscopic stapling diverticulotomy has a number of advantages over more traditional surgical treatments, such as Dohlman's procedure and open pouch excision, and now seems to be the procedure of choice.

We present three cases of iatrogenic perforations occurring during endoscopic stapling of a pharyngeal pouch by different surgeons in our unit, and review the management, causes and prevention of this potentially life-threatening complication.
