Conditions

hiatal hernia

Interventions

Experimental group :After closing the hiatal orifice with non-absorbable suture knots, an 8.0*8.0cm mesh was trimmed into a V-shape, flattened, and secured using an absorbable stapler with 5mm staples
Control group:The hiatal orifice was closed using non-absorbable suture knots alone, with no additional mesh reinforcement applied.
