Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Non-absorbable sutures
The hiatal hernia was corrected performing laparoscopic surgery. Primary repair of the hernia was done with non-absorbable sutures
Primary laparoscopic repair of the hiatal hernia using non-absorbable sutures
Active Comparator: Non-absorbable sutures and a TiMESH®
The hiatal hernia was corrected performing laparoscopic surgery. Primary repair of the hernia was done with non-absorbable sutures and a TiMESH® to reinforce the repair.

Augmentation of hiatal hernia repair with TiMESH® reinforcement

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of objective recurrence of a hiatal hernia
Time Frame: 5-10 years
Objective measurement of the integrity of the hiatal hernia repair by CT-imaging
5-10 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of clinical recurrence of a hiatal hernia
Time Frame: 5-10 years
Recurrence of symptoms related to a hiatal hernia measured by a questionnaire
5-10 years
Symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease
Time Frame: 5-10 years
Percentage of participants that develop postoperative gastroesophageal reflux disease, measured by a questionnaire
5-10 years
Patient satisfaction
Time Frame: 5-10 years
Overall satisfaction with surgical outcome measured by a questionnaire, on a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 means very unsatisfied with the outcome of the operation and 10 means very satisfied with the outcome of the operation. An additional question will be asked that assesses if the patient would undergo the operation again and can be answered by a simple 'yes' or 'no'.
5-10 years
