About this study

Official title: Use of Strattice in the Laparoscopic Suture Closure of a Paraesophageal Hernia

The objective of this study is to examine the safety and efficacy of porcine acellular dermal matrix mesh (Strattice; LifeCell Corp., Branchburg, NJ) in crural reinforcement of laparoscopic large paraesophageal hernia repair.

Read the detailed description

Prosthetic reinforcements reduce recurrence rates; the choice of optimal prosthetic, either synthetic or biosynthetic, for crural reinforcement is controversial. The objective of this study is to examine the safety and efficacy of porcine acellular dermal matrix mesh (Strattice; LifeCell Corp., Branchburg, NJ) in crural reinforcement of laparoscopic large paraesophageal hernia repair. Strattice is a commonly used mesh in hernia repair. 35 adult (>19 years of age) patients will be selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients who meet the criteria will be enrolled in the study. Information related to recurrence rates based on follow-up visits will be analyzed to determine the efficacy of Strattice in the prevention of large hernia recurrence.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Documented symptomatic paraesophageal hernia1. Documented symptomatic paraesophageal hernia. 2. Greater than 5 cm hiatal hernia on upper gastrointestinal study. 3. Evidence that the stomach or other viscera is present in the hernia and does not spontaneously reduce from the mediastinum. 4. Significant symptoms or signs of a paraesophageal hernia including but not limited to heartburn,dysphagia, chest pain, shortness of breath, postprandial abdominal pain, early satiety, odynophagia, or chronic anemia. 5. Consenting adult 19 years of age or older 6. Must be able to participate in follow-up evaluation. 7. Free of cognitive impairment

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Hernia recurrence

    A barium swallow test with x-rays will be performed to assess recurrence of hernia, if any

    Measured: 1 year post-surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Recurrence of reflux symptoms

    Patients will be evaluated for recurrence of reflux symptoms at the three postoperative visits. If recurrence warrants, a barium swallow with x-rays will be performed prior to 1-year primary outcome barium swallow test

    Measured: 2 weeks, 6 months and 1 year post-surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Esophageal Hernia and Hernia, Esophageal, run by University of Nebraska at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hernia recurrence (time frame: 1 year post-surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Sep 2023.
