Comparing sutures and polyglactin mesh for hiatal hernia repair

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness of sutures only versus polyglactin mesh in repairing paraesophageal hernias. It involves randomizing 110 patients who are scheduled for laparoscopic surgery to either receive sutures or the mesh during their procedure. The primary outcome being measured is the recurrence of the hernia within six months post-surgery. The study seeks to address high recurrence rates associated with traditional repair methods and explore a potentially safer and more cost-effective alternative.
