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 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.
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 study looks at a laparoscopic (keyhole) operation to repair a groin (inguinal) hernia using a 3D “visible” mesh, with or without an added fixation method. If you have a first-time hernia on one side and are planning a laparoscopic repair, this trial may be an option to discuss with your surgical team.
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.
