Midesophageal diverticulum is defined as 5 cm above and below the level of the trachea
bifurcation.

Midesophageal diverticulum is usually asymptomatic, with rare clinical manifestations
of dysphagia, reflux and chest pain.

Epiphrenic diverticula at the bottom of the esophagus are caused by pressure that
builds up as stomach contents are pushed against the lower sphincter. The pressure
causes the tissue to bulge out.

Cases of esophageal diverticulum that cause minor symptoms can be treated through
lifestyle changes, such as eating a bland diet, chewing food thoroughly, and drinking
plenty of water after meals. However, serious cases definitely need surgical or 
preferably non-surgical laser interventions.

For sure, professional laser machines should be used by otolaryngologists in order
to guarantee a safe, accurate and successful treatment. In this context, the Portable
Surgery [Laser System SIFLASER-1.2B ](https://sifsof.com/product/fda-portable-980nm-surgery-laser-system-siflaser-1-2b/)
has for long been otolaryngologists’ top recommendation.

The FDA Portable 980nm Surgery Laser System SIFLASER-1.2B is specifically designed
to meet otolaryngologists’ exact requirements as it deploys 980 nm wavelength with
15W as a maximum power. These are the exact laser criteria needed in most of the
throat laser-guided microsurgeries.

To put it clearer, the tissue components hemoglobin and melanin in the throat interact
more with this device’s blue laser light even at reduced power which, in turn, allows
SIFLASER-1.2B to perform better and softer bloodless, pain-free throat treatment/
surgery.

What also makes the SIFLASER-1.2B highly recommended by Otolaryngologists is that
it displays an accurate alignment and exact sighting during the micro-surgery.

Further, in order to guarantee better results, the device is supported with a fiber
guide laser.

These fibers are compatible with various endoscopic uses. They are also sterilisable
which, in turn, prevents any possible cross-infections while guaranteeing a clean
and bloodless operative area. This should actually reduce all possible thermal damages.

Moreover, the complete absence of water absorption in the device helps drastically
reduce the overheating of the surrounding tissues.

This should eliminate any possible after-effects which, in turn, will reinforce 
the laser treatment’s efficacy.

Due to all the mentioned features and more, the SIFLASER-1.2 B guarantees an accurate
and successful treatment of Midesophageal diverticulum issue, a therapy that is 
much more effective than the one obtained with infrared lasers.
