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 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.
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 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 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.
