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 using a special mesh called Phasix Mesh during hiatal hernia repair surgery can reduce the chances of the hernia coming back. Half of participants will receive surgery with this biosynthetic mesh (which naturally dissolves over 12-18 months), and the other half will receive surgery without mesh. Researchers want to see which approach leads to better long-term results.
Hiatal hernias can come back after surgery in some patients, which may require repeat procedures. This trial is designed to find out whether adding this special mesh during the initial repair can strengthen the repair and prevent hernias from returning.

If you join this trial, you will be randomly assigned to have your hiatal hernia repair surgery either with or without the biosynthetic mesh. The surgery itself is robotic anti-reflux surgery, meaning your surgeon will use robotic tools to perform the repair. You will then be followed up after surgery to see how well your repair heals and whether your hernia returns.
