HARVEY W. KAUSEL M.D.1 and GUSTAF E. LINDSKOG M.D.2

1 The Department of Surgery, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut., Fellow in Thoracic Surgery under a contract with the Office of Naval Research as Project N6ori-44 Task Order XI.
2 The Department of Surgery, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut.

1) A review of the surgical management of epiphrenic diverticulum of the esophagus has been presented. An evaluation of the various surgical procedures would indicate that transthoracic excision is relatively safe, accompanied with good results and probably the method of choice in most instances.

2) A case of epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum complicated by foreign body and ulcer formation is reported. Surgical excision of the lesion was successfully accomplished.
