Abstract
The diagnosis and surgical management of 26 patients with hypopharyn‐geal diverticulum treated in the Department of Otolaryngology of the Washington University Medical School from 1961 to 1973 is discussed. The surgical technique for external excision of the diverticulum is described in detail. Results and complications are presented. The surgical excision of hypophaiyngeal diverticulum is a standard, safe, and proven method of management which can be expected to result in satisfactory long‐term results with minimal morbidity.
