“Hiatus hernia contributes to the pathophysiology of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Mesh-augmentation of surgical repair might be associated with a reduced risk of recurrence and GERD.

The aim of this meta-analysis was to determine HH recurrence following mesh-augmentation versus suture repair.”
