Zinker diverticulum

Posted by sandrapar @sandrapar, Dec 1, 2023

Just wondering if anyone else has had this? I had a procedure done here at the Mayo called the P.O.E.M procedure.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Digestive Health Support Group.

I have one but declined the surgery as it isn't 'bothering' me. You know , "if it ain't broke......" However, I hope you are doing well. Who did the procedure?

Did the poem procedure help? Been considering getting that procedure.

It definitely helped! I don't choke on everything anymore. I had 3 other procedures by doctors in a small town that didn't work. 2 dilations and a septotamy. None worked. So I insisted on Mayo clinic since it is a rarer condition.

What was your experience with the procedure, thinking about doing it?
