| Paraesophageal Hernia Hiatal Hernia Large | Procedure: Anterior Gastropexy | Not Applicable |
Paraesophageal hernias are hernias in which the stomach and/or other abdominal organs herniate through the diaphragm into the chest. This abnormal anatomy can lead to acid reflux, trouble swallowing, and shortness of breath, and can also be a risk factor for surgical emergencies involving the stomach. For these reasons, the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons has strongly recommended that all symptomatic paraesophageal hernias be repaired.
These repairs are technically challenging, and the best available evidence suggests that more than half of patients undergoing repair will have radiographic hernia recurrence at 5 years after surgery. There has been suggestion that use of anterior gastropexy - in which suture is used to affix the stomach to the anterior abdomen - may reduce recurrence rates. However, it is uncertain whether this data is reliable. While some surgeons use anterior gastropexy routinely because they believe it reduces recurrence, other surgeons do not use anterior gastropexy due to the concern that patients will have short-term pain at the suture site. This study aims to evaluate the effect of using anterior gastropexy on recurrence rates after paraesophageal hernia repair, compared to not using anterior gastropexy.
| Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
| Estimated Enrollment : | 240 participants |
| Allocation: | Randomized |
| Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
| Intervention Model Description: | This will be a double-blinded, registry-based, randomized control trial comparing anterior gastropexy to no anterior gastropexy in paraesophageal hernia repair. This will be a two-arm trial with intervention 1: intervention 2 and control allocation ratio of 1:1. |
| Masking: | Double (Participant, Outcomes Assessor) |
| Masking Description: | Participants will not be informed regarding the treatment that they received until they complete 1-year follow-up. Imaging will be reviewed at the end of the study period by surgeons who are blinded to treatment group. |
| Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
| Official Title: | Two-Armed Double-Blinded Registry-Based Randomized Control Trial Comparing Anterior Gastropexy to No Anterior Gastropexy for Paraesophageal Hernia Repair |
| Actual Study Start Date : | June 26, 2019 |
| Estimated Primary Completion Date : | July 1, 2023 |
| Estimated Study Completion Date : | July 1, 2024 |
| Arm | Intervention/treatment |
|---|---|
|
No Intervention: Intervention 1 (Control)
No anterior gastropexy will be performed.
|
|
|
Experimental: Intervention 2 (Treatment)
Anterior gastropexy will be performed.
|
Procedure: Anterior Gastropexy
Two permanent sutures will be introduced into the abdomen and placed along the lesser curvature of the stomach. A suture passer will be used to grasp the ends of the sutures to externalize them at separate fascial punctures. At time of abdominal desufflation, the sutures will be tied and the incision closed per individual surgeon practice.

| Brief 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. | ||||||||
