    Type I hiatal hernias are the most common variant, often associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

  • 2

    Surgical treatment aims to control GERD symptoms, typically using fundoplication techniques and cruroplasty.

  • 3

    The use of mesh reinforcement in cruroplasty remains controversial due to potential complications and insufficient evidence.

  • 4

    The Herniamed registry includes data from 6533 patients undergoing type I hiatal hernia repair, providing a basis for analysis.

  • 5

    This study employs a propensity-score matching analysis to compare outcomes between mesh and non-mesh repair techniques.
