Summary

This trial will look at whether a fundoplication should be done during laparoscopic hernia repair, and if it's not necessary for some patients.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients who need surgery to fix a paraesophageal hernia but haven't had this type of surgery before. They shouldn't have GERD (acid reflux) diagnosed by tests or a weak valve between the stomach and esophagus found during surgery.
What is being tested?
The study is testing if it's beneficial to add a step called fundoplication when repairing a paraesophageal hernia laparoscopically, which involves folding the top part of the stomach around the esophagus.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects may include discomfort at surgical sites, bloating, difficulty swallowing, or other complications related to standard laparoscopic hernia repair procedures.
