ACELL Mesh for Paraesophageal Hernia Repair

March 26, 2019 updated by: University of South Florida

Comparison of Symptomatic and Radiographic Outcomes of Paraesophageal Hernia Repair With and Without MatriStem Surgical Matrix

This is a prospective, case-matched, systematic follow up of up to 70 pre-existing patients whom underwent paraesophageal hernia repair between June 1, 2012 and September 30, 2016. Patients whom are willing to participate in the study will be asked to return for a one time follow up visit to reassess for hiatal hernia recurrence both symptomatically and radiologically to compare the efficacy of the use of MatriStem Surgical Matrix (ACell) mesh to other biologic meshes.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The participating "MatriStem" patients (N=35) will be matched to "control" patients who were treated surgically by Dr. Vic Velanovich or Dr. Michael Albrink for paraesophageal hernia with a biological mesh other than MatriStem Surgical Matrix (N=35) during the study timeframe at Tampa General Hospital. Patients will be matched by age (+ 5 years), gender, and operative approach (laparoscopic, laparotomy, or thoracic approach).

Study participation will require only one visit. Once the patient signs the consent form, operative details and the postoperative course will be reviewed retrospectively.

Visit 1 (≥ 12 months post-PEHR)

  1. Review the study with the subject and/or subject's legal representative, and obtain written informed consent and HIPAA authorization.
  2. Assign the subject a unique screening/enrollment number (assigned sequentially starting from 001).
  3. Pregnancy test if subject is of childbearing potential
  4. Confirm subject eligibility.
  5. Record demographics data, which includes date of birth, race, ethnicity, and gender.
  6. Record current clinical symptoms in relation to the HH.
  7. Record medications, including over-the-counter and herbal medications, taken postoperatively in relation to the HH.
  8. Record medical history with respect to the paraesophageal hernia prior to the surgical repair. If available, the following information will be recorded: hernia type, hernia size, organo-axial, or meso-axial rotation, and operative approach (laparoscopic, laparotomy, or thoracic approach).
  9. Record medical history with respect to the paraesophageal hernia after the surgical repair (size of mesh implant, length of surgery [calculated as the time from incision to wound closure], postoperative complications to include need for reoperation, mesh migration, reherniation, etc [from date of hospital discharge to study visit], and symptom frequency).
  10. Perform esophagogram at TGH.
  11. Administer GERD-HRQL symptom severity questionnaire.
  12. Administer SF-36 generic quality of life instrument.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
