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.

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 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 studies a way to guide laparoscopic surgery for a paraesophageal (hiatal) hernia using special measurements during the operation (FLIP) and an endoscopy check. It may help doctors choose the most appropriate surgical wrap to better control reflux after surgery.
This study tests a new combination of two weight-loss surgeries to see if it works better than the standard one for patients who also have a hiatal hernia (a small gap in the diaphragm). If you are scheduled for sleeve gastrectomy and have a hiatal hernia 4 cm or smaller, you may be able to join.
