Dr. Christopher Garvey of Aurora Health Care answered:Unfortunately, there is nothing a patient can do to prevent a Zenker's diverticulum recurrence. Reported recurrence rates range from 3-19% with recurrence rates being higher in patients with larger diverticulum pouches.Unfortunately, there is nothing a patient can do to prevent a Zenker's diverticulum recurrence.
