Protocol for Randomised Controlled Feasibility Study Comparing Cruroplasty with Circumferential DynaMesh-HIATUS® Versus Suture-Only Repair for Large Hiatus Hernias
Abstract:Laparoscopic fundoplication has become a standard surgical treatment for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. Many of these patients also have a hiatus hernia that is repaired at the same time. However, suture-only repair of larger hiatus hernias has recurrence rates as high as 50%. Evidence on the effectiveness and safety of surgical mesh to reinforce hiatal repair compared with suture-only repair is currently lacking. This study aims to assess the feasibility of running a randomised controlled trial comparing … Show more
