The study is devoted to the peculiarities of surgical treatment of Zenker diverticulum. For convenience and for safety we propose the use of intraoperative video endoscopic transillumination of the diverticulum. The method significantly increases the safety of operation, shortens its duration and results to a better cosmetic effect. To avoid relapse, diverticulectomy should be supplemented by cricopharyngeal myotomy.
