Treatment For Zenker S Esophageal Diverticulum
I have been diagnosed with a Zenker Esophageal Diverticula by having a barium swallow. Should I be followed up by an ENT or a GI doctor. I am confused by this because the speech pathologists that did the swallow said I would be referred to my GI doctor and yet my ENT that originally ordered the swallow has referred me to another ENT.

you should ask for which surgeon has previous experience of it.
Both can operate.but it is not necessary that everyone does all kinds of surgery.
