Comparing two types of hernia surgery for hiatal hernia
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests which of two surgical repairs works better for children with a congenital hiatus hernia that hasn't improved with medication. It aims to find the best long-term fix for symptoms like severe heartburn or breathing issues.
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 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 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 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.
