Nissen vs Dor repair for hiatal hernia
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of hiatal hernia repair: Nissen and Dor fundoplication. It aims to see which one works better for patients having keyhole surgery for a large hiatal hernia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a type II, III, or IV hiatal hernia (confirmed by a scan or scope).
- You are scheduled for a keyhole (minimally invasive) hiatal hernia repair, either planned or as an emergency.
- This is not a recurrent hernia, and you do not need a special procedure to lengthen your esophagus.
- There is no sign of gangrene or need to remove tissue during surgery, and the surgery can be done without a large cut in your belly or chest.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares three ways to repair a large hiatal hernia—using an absorbable mesh (a dissolvable patch), special sutures with small pledgets (reinforcement pads), or sutures alone. The goal is to find out which method works best for preventing the hernia from coming back.
This study looks at patients who are planning to have surgery for severe acid reflux (called fundoplication). It aims to find out which patients are most likely to see their symptoms improve after the operation, so doctors can better choose who will benefit.
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 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 compares two similar weight-loss surgeries (sleeve gastrectomy) in people who also have a small hiatus hernia. One surgery also repairs the hernia; the other does not. The goal is to see which approach gives better long-term results over three years.
