A Randomized, Blinded, Parallel-group Trial Evaluating Mesh Versus Pledgeted Sutures in Paraesophageal Hernia Recurrence
David Krpata
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare whether the use of Ovitex mesh provides superior reduction in 2-year recurrence compared to pledgeted suture closure (no mesh) for patients undergoing paraesophageal hernia repair at the Cleveland Clinic. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Determine whether there is a difference in 2-year rates of radiographic recurrence with Ovitex versus pledgeted sutures in paraesophageal hernia repair. * Assess patient quality of life (QOL) after paraesophageal hernia repair with pledgets and mesh. A two-tailed research hypothesis will be used to determine whether there are differences between the two arms
Description
This is a prospective, single-center, randomized, two-arm trial assessing the impact of Ovitex mesh on paraesophageal hernia recurrence. This study will occur at Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Cleveland, OH. A total of 164 patients will be enrolled in this study. The anticipated accrual rate is approximately 7 per month for a total accrual period of approximately 24 months. Patients may be enrolled into the study provided all inclusion and no exclusion criteria are met as specified in Section 4. Subjects will be evaluated through hospital discharge and return for follow-up visits at 1 month (…
