Comparing two weight-loss surgeries for people with hiatus hernia
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a hiatus hernia (a stomach bulge into your chest) that is 4 centimeters or smaller.
- You've had both a gastroscopy (a camera test of your stomach) and an esophagogastroduodenal transit or OGDT (an X-ray test that checks your swallowing and stomach movements).

This study compares two common weight-loss surgeries (gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy) to see which is better at treating acid reflux in people with obesity. If you have reflux and are considering surgery, this trial will randomly put you in one of the two surgery groups.
This study compares two similar minimally invasive procedures to help with weight loss. The goal is to see which technique is safer and more effective for people with a high body mass index (BMI).
This study looks at complications after a type of weight-loss surgery called sleeve gastrectomy (removing part of the stomach). If you are considering this surgery and meet the weight/health guidelines, you may be able to join to help doctors learn more about risks and recovery.
This study checks whether a surgical “fix” (omentumpexy) can reduce acid reflux after sleeve gastrectomy. It’s mainly for adults having sleeve surgery who have a higher-risk body weight and related health problems.
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 trial tests a modified version of sleeve gastrectomy that aims to reduce the risk of acid reflux (GERD) after surgery. It is for people aged 18–65 with a BMI between 35 and 55 who already have some degree of GERD and are planning to have weight loss surgery.
