Hernia sac removal in paraesophageal hernia repair
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical techniques for fixing a paraesophageal hernia (a type of hiatal hernia). It looks at whether removing the hernia sac affects tension during repair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a paraesophageal hernia that causes symptoms.
- You are scheduled for surgery to fix the hernia.
- You have NOT had prior surgery on your esophagus, stomach, diaphragm, or for acid reflux.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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 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.
