We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the effectiveness and safety of endoscopic submucosal tunneling techniques (ESTTs) and flexible endoscopic septotomy (FES) for treating patients with ZD, including subgroup analyses by follow-up duration (<12 months and ≥12 months), diverticulum size (<2.5 cm and ≥2.5 cm), ESTT used (Zenker’s peroral endoscopic myotomy and peroral endoscopic septotomy), and publication format (full text and abstract).
