Gastropexy for Paraesophageal Hernia
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests if a stomach-stabilizing procedure called gastropexy helps people with a paraesophageal hernia feel better after surgery. It is for adults who are getting or have just gotten hernia repair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have a type of hiatal hernia called a paraesophageal hernia.
- You are either having surgery to fix it soon or have had emergency surgery for it.
- You cannot have had other stomach surgery before.

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 trial tests if people with GERD or a hiatal hernia can safely have antireflux surgery without first having a standard esophagus pressure test (manometry). It aims to simplify the process and may help you avoid an extra test before 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.
