NCT ID NCT07718828

First seen Jul 22, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial compares two common laparoscopic surgeries—Nissen fundoplication (full wrap) and Toupet fundoplication (partial wrap)—for treating hiatal hernia with acid reflux. About 200 adults aged 18 to 90 will be randomly assigned to one procedure. Researchers will measure pain, quality of life, hospital stay, and whether reflux returns, to see if one approach offers better outcomes.

What this could lead to
If one technique proves better, it could reduce pain and improve quality of life for people needing hiatal hernia surgery.
