First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study tests a new surgical method called PoRSHA for repairing large or recurrent paraesophageal hernias. Instead of using synthetic mesh, the surgeon uses a flap of the patient's own abdominal lining to reinforce the diaphragm. The goal is to see if this approach reduces hernia recurrence and improves symptoms in 100 older adults.
