Clinical Trial: The PHARO Trial: The Incidence of Para-conduit Hernia With Closure of Hiatus Versus the Standard Approach in Robotic Oesophagectomy - A Randomised Controlled Pilot Trial

U.S., Feb. 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07426835) titled 'The PHARO Trial: The Incidence of Para-conduit Hernia With Closure of Hiatus Versus the Standard Approach in Robotic Oesophagectomy - A Randomised Controlled Pilot Trial' on Feb. 16.

Brief Summary: Para-conduit hernia is a recognised complication following minimally invasive and robotic oesophagectomy. It may present as an incidental radiological finding or as a symptomatic hernia requiring urgent surgical intervention. There is currently no standardised approach to hiatal management during robotic oesophagectomy.

The PHARO trial is a single-centre, randomised controlled pilot study evaluating whether routine hiatal closure with om...
