Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Hernia recurrence
Incidence of radiographic recurrence at 24 months, defined as \> 2cm above the hiatus via barium swallow.
At 24 months
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Early post-operative complications
Occurring within the first 3 months of the hiatal hernia repair
Study Arms (1)
OviTex Reinforced Tissue Matrix
OTHERThis is a single-arm study. All study subjects will receive OviTex.
Interventions
All study subjects will receive OviTex. All OviTex Reinforced Tissue Matrices are intended for use as a surgical mesh to reinforce or repair soft tissue where weakness exists.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patient is a candidate for an elective robotic or laparoscopic primary hiatal hernia repair with the use of OviTex Core Resorbable or OviTex 1S Resorbable.
- Patient is willing and able to voluntarily sign the IRB-approved Informed Consent Form for the study.
- Patient is at least 22 years old at the time of surgery.
- Patient is not pregnant and not planning to become pregnant during the duration of the study (5 years).
- Patient is able and willing to comply with the study requirements including completion of patient questionnaires and clinic evaluations.
You may not qualify if:
- Patient has a Body Mass Index (BMI) of ≥ 35.
- Patient meets the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Surgical Site Infection (SSI) Wound Classification Class IV (Dirty-Infected) criteria.
- Patient has a Type I hiatal hernia (defined as only the esophagogastric junction is above the diaphragm).
- Patient has a life expectancy of less than five years making it unlikely that the subject will successfully achieve five-year follow-up.
- Patient is a current nicotine user (including smokeless, vaporized, etc.)
- Patient has a history of illicit drug or alcohol abuse (in the last three years).
- Patient has an allergy to ovine-derived products or a known sensitivity to polyglycolic acid (PGA).
- Patient has an allergy to barium.
- Patient's surgery will include the use of an anti-reflux implantable device (LINX, etc.).
- Patient's surgery requires the use of an additional mesh device or a pledget for reinforcement.
- Patient has participated in another gastrointestinal (GI) clinical study within the past 30 days or is currently involved in another clinical study excluding observational and registry studies.
- Patient had previous surgery at the gastroesophageal junction.
- Patient had a prior hiatal hernia repair.
- Patient has an incarcerated hernia that requires emergent intervention.
- Patient is a prisoner.
