Approach to Hiatal Hernia Repair Based on Collagen Study

November 5, 2019 updated by: Grubnik Volodymyr
Groups of patients who underwent laparoscopic repair of large hiatal hernias by primary posterior crural repair and crural repair with ProGrip™ mesh techniques were examined for recurrence rate of hiatal hernias, quality of life according to the GERD-HRQL questionnaire. Clinical evaluation was performed at 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 months after surgery.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The laparoscopic repair of large hiatal hernias is mostly performed by cruroraphy or cruroraphy with mesh reinforcement techniques.

Cruroraphy it is suturing of the right and left diaphragmatic crura using nonabsorbable stitches. Main disadvantage of such technique is the high hiatal hernia recurrence rate after surgery.

Cruroraphy with mesh reinforcement technique followed by relatively less hiatal hernia recurrence rate but associated with a large number of mesh-related complications.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Recurrence rate of hiatal hernia
Time Frame: 36 months
Recurrence of hiatal hernia will be assessed by barium contrast swallow study
36 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Quality of life and satisfaction
Time Frame: 36 months
Quality of life and satisfaction will be assessed by Gastroesophageal reflux disease - health-related quality of life (GERD-HRQL) score. The scale has 11 items,each item is scored from 0 to 5. A higher score indicating a better quality of life.
36 months
