Concurrent hiatal hernia repair and gastric bypass as an adjunct in the treatment of hiatal hernia in populations with obesity.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundMinimally invasive hiatal hernia repair with fundoplication (HHR) is the standard of care for hiatal hernias but has a high risk of recurrence even in populations without obesity. Concomitant roux-en-y gastric bypass (RYGB) with HHR may mitigate the increased risk of hiatal hernia recurrence in patients with obesity while also addressing obesity-related comorbidities. There is a paucity of data on this procedure. It is hypothesized that a concomitant RYGB with HHR is safe and effective in patients with obesity.
methodsThis is a single institution retrospective review of adult patients who underwent concomitant RYGB with HHR from 2014-2023. Patient charts were reviewed to collect data on complications, weight loss, GERD symptom resolution, and improvement in other obesity-related comorbidities. Outcomes were measured at one-, three-, and five-year follow-up.
resultsSixty-four patients met inclusion criteria. Fifty-three patients had primary and eleven patients had revisional surgery. There was one (2%) perioperative complication that required intervention, three (4%) unplanned readmissions for PO intolerance, and four patients (8%) treated for marginal ulcer. Resolution of heartburn/reflux symptoms was 86% at one year, 70% at 3 year, and 59% at 5 year follow-up. Improvement in diabetes (80%), hypertension (75%), and hyperlipidemia (33%) were noted at 5 years. The change in BMI and %TWL at 5 years for primary procedures was -11.5 kg/m
conclusionDurability of a HHR in the setting of obesity is poor. Concomitant RYGB with HHR is safe and effective for treating GERD while also improving obesity and obesity-associated comorbidities.
