About this study
Official title: Prospective Trial Comparing Utility of Esophageal Crural Dissection During Laparoscopic Fundoplication in Children
This study compares complete dissection of the tissue around the lower esophagus to no dissection of these tissues during laparoscopic fundoplication in children.
Read the detailed description
This will be a 2-center, prospective randomized clinical trial involving patients who require an operation for gastroesophageal reflux disease. This is intended to be a definitive study. All patients will receive the standard operation for reflux: laparoscopic fundoplication. The dissection will be performed by either separating the phrenoesophageal membrane, or by leaving the phrenoesophageal membrane intact.
Sample size calculated on a power of 80% with an alpha level of 0.05 using the recurrence rates demonstrated by our retrospective data produce a number of 159 patients in each arm of the study. Given that we will need to follow these patients for 1 year after enrollment, there may be some attrition due to lost follow-up. Therefore 180 patients per arm would account for just over 10% attrition.
One group will undergo laparoscopic fundoplication with complete mobilization of the lower esophagus by circumferentially dividing the phrenoesophageal membrane. The other group will undergo laparoscopic fundoplication without dividing this membrane. The operation, post-operative care, and follow-up plan will otherwise not differ between groups.
If 4 consecutive recurrences are found in one group, an interim analysis will be conducted. If a recurrence difference between groups of statistical significance is detected, the study will be concluded at this point. Without this occurrence, an interim analysis will be conducted at 180 patients enrolled.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Hiatal hernia (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00287612, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Sep 2009; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
