Mesh use in hernia repair for reflux
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with acid reflux disease (GERD).
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You speak English.
- You are scheduled to have surgery for acid reflux.

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 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 tests a special mesh (OviTex) used during hiatal hernia repair to see how well it helps the hernia stay closed. It may be a good option if you are having a robotic or laparoscopic hernia repair and do not smoke or have a very high BMI.
This study is testing a new system (ECLIPSIUM) for fixing mesh during laparoscopic hernia repair. It aims to see if the system is safe and works well for people with a single midline hernia (ventral, umbilical, or incisional) that is small to medium size (1-5 cm). If you qualify, the study will help doctors repair your hernia with a special mesh that may reduce complications.
This study tests a surgical technique using mesh to repair a first-time symptomatic hiatus hernia when medications haven't worked. It aims to see if adding mesh to the repair helps improve results.
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.
