Recruiting studies
- NCT05201508Recruiting
Sutures versus special mesh for hiatal hernia repair
This study compares two ways of closing tissue during laparoscopic surgery for a severe hiatal hernia. It may help doctors learn which method gives better outcomes and fewer problems after surgery.
OuluAges 18 years+ - NCT07197619Recruiting
Hernia sac removal in paraesophageal hernia repair
This study compares two surgical techniques for fixing a paraesophageal hernia (a type of hiatal hernia). It looks at whether removing the hernia sac affects tension during repair.
Grand Rapids, MichiganAges 18–80 - NCT06107634Recruiting
Comparing hernia repair with and without stomach tuck
This study tests whether adding a procedure called gastropexy (tacking the stomach in place) to standard hernia repair helps prevent the hernia from coming back. It may be a good option for people having their first surgery for a paraesophageal hernia.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05974722Recruiting
Compare two ways to repair large hiatal hernias
This study compares two surgical materials (mesh vs pledgets) used to repair a large hiatal hernia, helping doctors find which approach works best over time. You may be able to join if you have a specific type and size of hiatal hernia and can attend long-term follow-up visits and surveys.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06193551Recruiting
Ovitex use in large hiatal hernia repair
This trial tests a product called Ovitex used during surgery to fix a large hiatal hernia (a condition where the stomach pushes up into the chest). If you are scheduled for this surgery, Ovitex may help improve the repair.
Lone Tree, ColoradoAges 18–85 - NCT06551077Recruiting
New Surgical Fix for Large Hiatal Hernia
This trial tests a new surgical technique (called PoRSHA) for fixing a large hiatal hernia (where the stomach pushes into the chest). The goal is to see if adding a small piece of the patient's own tissue to the repair helps prevent the hernia from coming back.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05807763Enrolling by invitation
Laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair guided by FLIP testing
This trial studies a way to guide laparoscopic surgery for a paraesophageal (hiatal) hernia using special measurements during the operation (FLIP) and an endoscopy check. It may help doctors choose the most appropriate surgical wrap to better control reflux after surgery.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07718828Recruiting
Comparing two types of hernia surgery for hiatal hernia
This study compares two laparoscopic surgery methods (Nissen vs Toupet) for fixing a hiatal hernia. Both aim to stop stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus and help relieve heartburn or reflux symptoms.
Sofia, Sofia-GradAges 18–90 - NCT06725433Recruiting
Nissen vs Dor repair for hiatal hernia
This trial compares two types of hiatal hernia repair: Nissen and Dor fundoplication. It aims to see which one works better for patients having keyhole surgery for a large hiatal hernia.
KuopioAges 18 years+ - NCT06444347Recruiting
Mesh use in hernia repair for reflux
This trial compares two types of mesh used during surgery to fix a hiatal hernia in people with acid reflux. It aims to see which mesh works better for preventing the hernia from coming back.
