Ovitex use in large hiatal hernia repair
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a product called Ovitex used during surgery to fix a large hiatal hernia (a condition where the stomach pushes up into the chest). If you are scheduled for this surgery, Ovitex may help improve the repair.

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 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 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.
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 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 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.
