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 prospective randomized trial compares Nissen fundoplication with the Hil Snow procedure in pediatric patients aged 24 months to 18 years undergoing anti-reflux surgery. Participants are assigned to one of the two surgical approaches at multiple tertiary pediatric centers. Outcomes include gastric emptying time, upper GI endoscopy findings, and post-surgical symptoms such as dysphagia, satiety, and discomfort. Data will be analyzed to identify which procedure yields better gastric function and symptom control after fundoplication.
