This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether adding an extra step called gastropexy—a procedure that anchors the stomach in place—to standard hiatal hernia repair surgery works better than repair alone. A hiatal hernia occurs when part of your stomach pushes through your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe). The study wants to see if this additional anchoring technique prevents the hernia from coming back and improves how you feel after surgery.
Some people who have hiatal hernia repair surgery experience the hernia returning or ongoing symptoms like reflux and swallowing difficulties. Doctors want to know if adding this extra stomach-anchoring step can reduce these problems and give patients better long-term results.

If you join this trial, you will have surgery to repair your hiatal hernia. Half of participants will receive the standard repair, and half will receive the standard repair plus the extra gastropexy procedure—decided randomly. Before surgery and at 3 months, 1 year, and 3 years after surgery, you will complete questionnaires about your symptoms and quality of life, and you'll have CT scans at baseline, 1 year, and 3 years to check how well the repair is holding.
