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 two slightly different surgical approaches to repair a hiatal hernia (a condition where part of your stomach pushes through your diaphragm) and reduce acid reflux. You would be randomly assigned to receive one of two laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgeries: a complete wrap around your esophagus, or a partial wrap. Both approaches are standard treatments, and this study is comparing which one works better for pain relief, quality of life, and preventing reflux from returning.
Hiatal hernias with acid reflux can cause significant discomfort and affect daily life. While both surgical techniques are effective, doctors aren't certain which approach is better for most patients in terms of symptom relief, recovery, and long-term outcomes.

If you enroll, you would undergo one of the two laparoscopic surgical repairs (determined randomly), performed by experienced surgeons at the hospital. After surgery, the research team would follow your recovery by monitoring your pain levels, quality of life, hospital stay duration, and any complications or return of symptoms. They will also measure how well each surgical technique prevents reflux and other side effects over your recovery period.
