Anterior Gastropexy vs. No Anterior Gastropexy for Paraesophageal Hernia Repair

United States240 participantsStarted 2019-06-26

Plain-language summary

This study evaluates the effect of anterior gastropexy (one or more sutures fixing the stomach to the inner abdominal wall) on improving durability of paraesophageal hernia repair. Half of participants will receive anterior gastropexy, while the other half will not. The hypothesis is that anterior gastropexy will help to prevent paraesophageal hernias from recurring.
