Onlay Synthetic Bioabsorbable Mesh Herniorrhaphy Versus Herniorrhaphy Only in the Primary Treatment of Large Hiatal Hernia: a Multicenter, Randomized, Parallel-group, Evaluator Blinded, Phase III Clinical Trial

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The large hiatal hernia (LHH) now represents approximately 50% of laparoscopic antireflux surgical practice. In a non-comparative retrospective study of 399 patients operated for LHH with onlay patch of a bioprosthetic absorbable (Gore® Bio-A® HH0710) mesh with a mean follow-up of 44 months, 16% had a symptomatic recurrence with 7,9% requiring reoperation, one patient had oesophageal stenosis. No comparative effectiveness data exist to date. Hypothesis: the incidence of postoperative hiatus hernia would be reduced by the addition of biosynthetic absorbable mesh reinforcement to a standardized suture repair technique, as compared to laparoscopic repair without mesh, without increasing the risk of complications. The main objective is to compare the radiologic recurrence rate at 2 years between standardized herniorrhaphy with onlay biosynthetic absorbable mesh repair versus standardized herniorrhaphy with no mesh in symptomatic LHH.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria5
- Patient undergoing laparoscopic primary repair for symptomatic LHH. LHH is defined as a hiatal hernia larger than 5 cm in axial length as diagnosed at barium series and/or CT-scan with contrast swallow and/or CT-scan with contrast injection with axial reconstruction.
- Symptomatic hiatal hernia: heartburn and/or regurgitation and/or epigastric pain and/or dysphagia and/or anemia (if exclusion of other origin);
- Patient aged ≥ 18 years;
- Patient affiliated to a social security system or beneficiary of the same;
- Free written informed consent signed by the participant and the investigator (no later than the inclusion day and before performing any examination required for the study).
Exclusion Criteria11
- Patient undergoing reoperation for recurrent LHH repair;
- Emergency presentation needing an operation in a delay \<6 hours;
- Asymptomatic hiatal hernia;
- American anesthesiologist score \>3;
- Recurrent hiatal hernia and previous surgical interventions involving gastroesophageal junction;
- Brachyesophagus defined as the impossibility to achieve an intraabdominal length of the esophagus of at least 3cm after reduction of hernia contents and complete dissection and resection of the hernia sac;
- Previous major upper gastrointestinal surgery;
- Inability to perform primary closure of the crura;
- Pregnant or breast-feeding woman;
- Persons deprived of liberty or under guardianship or incapable of giving consent;
- Any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol or follow-up schedule, as assessed by investigator.

Interventions
laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair has replaced the traditional laparotomic or thoracotomic approach, and has resulted in a reduction of length of hospital stay and morbidity, and increased patients' acceptance
