Stomach anchoring for paraesophageal hernia repair
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares a surgical technique called gastropexy (attaching the stomach to the abdominal wall) for treating paraesophageal hernia. If you're having surgery to fix this type of hernia, this trial may help determine if adding gastropexy improves outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a paraesophageal hernia (a type of hiatal hernia where part of the stomach slides up into the chest).
- Your hernia repair surgery can be either an emergency procedure or a planned (elective) surgery.
- There are no other restrictions listed for participating in this study.

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 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.
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.
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.
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 tests ways to improve decisions and outcomes for people having surgery for a parastomal hernia, which is a bulge near a stoma. It aims to help patients make better choices and have better results.
