About this trial
Paraesophageal hernia can cause significant clinical symptoms, including reflux, chest pain, nausea, regurgitation, and even life threatening conditions such as bowel obstruction, and gastric volvulus. Repair of a paraesophageal hernia is associated with significant recurrence rate, with primary repair often in excess of 50%. Hernia recurrence and revisional surgery significantly increase the likelihood of complications and decreased quality of life.
