Mesh repair during sleeve gastrectomy may slash hernia return
NCT ID NCT07491003
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 20 adults who had weight-loss surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) and also needed hiatal hernia repair. Surgeons used a mesh to strengthen the hernia fix. The goal was to see if this lowers the chance of the hernia coming back. Results suggest mesh repair may help control the hernia long-term.
