Compare three surgical ways to repair large hiatal hernias
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares different surgical techniques to repair a large hiatal hernia using either an absorbable mesh, stronger anchoring stitches, or stitches alone. If you qualify and agree, you would be randomly assigned to one of these repair methods to see which works best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your hernia repair surgery is planned using laparoscopic or robot-assisted surgery.
- You can and are willing to sign written consent to join the study.
- You are not pregnant and have no ongoing plan for another unrelated surgery at the same time.

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.
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.
This study tests a new combination of two weight-loss surgeries to see if it works better than the standard one for patients who also have a hiatal hernia (a small gap in the diaphragm). If you are scheduled for sleeve gastrectomy and have a hiatal hernia 4 cm or smaller, you may be able to join.
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.
This trial compares using a synthetic, dissolvable mesh versus doing hiatal hernia surgery without mesh during laparoscopic repair. It aims to see which approach better controls symptoms and improves outcomes for people with large, symptomatic hiatal hernias.
