Body's own tissue patch may strengthen tricky hernia repairs
NCT ID NCT06551077
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a new surgical method called PoRSHA for repairing large or recurrent paraesophageal hernias. The technique uses a flap made from the patient's own abdominal lining to reinforce the diaphragm opening, aiming to reduce hernia recurrence. About 100 adults with hernias larger than 4 cm will be followed to see if the repair holds and symptoms improve.
