Comparing two keyhole surgeries for hiatus hernia in children
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two keyhole surgery methods to fix a hiatus hernia in children and teenagers. The goal is to see which one works better at controlling reflux and healing the esophagus, using a camera test to check results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or younger
- You must have been diagnosed with a congenital hiatus hernia (a birth defect where the stomach slides into the chest)
- Your symptoms didn't get better with at least 12 weeks of acid-reducing medicine, or you have complications like severe heartburn, Barrett's esophagus, or trouble gaining weight
- You have not had any prior surgery on your esophagus or stomach
- You are able to safely undergo laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery

This study compares two laparoscopic surgery methods (Nissen vs Toupet) for fixing a hiatal hernia. Both aim to stop stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus and help relieve heartburn or reflux symptoms.
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 trial compares two surgical approaches (a 'partial wrap' and a 'full wrap' of the stomach around the esophagus) to fix a hiatal hernia and treat severe, hard-to-control reflux (GERD). It may be a good option if your reflux hasn't improved with medication and you have a hiatal hernia.
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.
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 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.
