Mesh repair for first-time symptomatic hiatal hernia
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- This is your first hernia (not a return of a previous one).

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.
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 study looks at how often a large hiatal hernia comes back after a specific surgery: laparoscopic repair using mesh plus an anterior fundoplication. It may help surgeons better choose the technique that lowers the chance of recurrence.
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 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.
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.
