| Abstract:Objective: To explore the improvement of quality of life of patients with esophageal diverticulum by submucosal tunneling endoscopic septum division (STESD).Methods: Clinical data of 11 patients who had received STESD for esophageal diverticulum from April 2016 to April 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Esophagograms and endoscopic examination were assessed before and after the operation. All patients completed the assessment of the SF-36 scale before STESD and 5-month after the surgery.Results: Mucosal injury occurred in 2 patients. No severe complications were observed. Three patients (27.3%) were completely symptom-free till the last follow-up, and 7 (63.6%) reported relieved symptoms. The total scores of SF-36 scale before and after the procedure were (116.0±23.6) and (135.1±9.0) points respectively (P=0.014). General health, vitality and mental health after surgery showed significant improvement than those before surgery (P=0.003, P=0.006, and P=0.037, respectively).Conclusions: STESD is a safe and valid endoscopic minimal invasive surgery, and it can efficiently improve patients' quality of life. |
