New mesh technique aims to stop hiatal hernias from coming back
NCT ID NCT07251010
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a new surgical method called Alinasser's technique for repairing symptomatic hiatal hernia. The procedure uses a mesh to rebuild the ligament that normally holds the esophagus in place, aiming to reduce the chance of hernia recurrence. Sixty adults who have not responded to medical treatment will be randomly assigned to receive either the new technique or the standard repair. The main goal is to see if the new approach lowers the rate of hernia coming back, as seen on imaging or endoscopy.
What this could mean

- Active substance
- surgical procedure (Alinasser's technique of laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair with mesh)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this new surgical technique could lower the chance of hiatal hernia coming back after surgery, improving long-term outcomes for patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The new technique involves mesh, which carries risks like infection or erosion.
