Sutures versus special mesh for hiatal hernia repair
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 years or older
- Your hiatal hernia is type III or IV, confirmed by an X-ray/scan or endoscopy camera test
- You’re planning to have laparoscopic (keyhole) hiatal hernia repair
- You can sign written informed consent before any study-related steps

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 three ways to repair a large hiatal hernia—using an absorbable mesh (a dissolvable patch), special sutures with small pledgets (reinforcement pads), or sutures alone. The goal is to find out which method works best for preventing the hernia from coming back.
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 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.
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.
This study looks at how often a large hiatal hernia comes back after a specific surgery: laparoscopic repair using mesh plus an anterior fundoplication. It may help surgeons better choose the technique that lowers the chance of recurrence.
