Epiphrenic diverticula are rare. The exact prevalence of this condition is unknown because asymptomatic patients are usually not discovered. Symptoms are more often the result of an esophageal motility disorder than the diverticulum itself and no correlation exists between the size of the diverticulum and the severity of symptoms. We present a patient suffering from dysphagia, chest pain, food retention and regurgitation because of an epiphrenic diverticulum. The current treatment of choice for symptomatic epiphrenic diverticula is diverticulectomy via a left thoracic approach. We performed a successful abdominal laparoscopic approach.
