✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Cervical esophagostomy has become a preferred technique for a long‐term enteral alimentation in chronically ill patients. It has relatively few complications and many benefits. We present a case of traction diverticulum as a complication of the procedure. This complication will probably become more prevalent as more esophagostomas are reversed. Management of the complication by a “tack‐up” operation is discussed.
