Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Radiological recurrence rate of hiatal hernia determined by computer tomography (CT) scan	To evaluate the radiological recurrence rate of hiatal hernia at least one year after surgery by performing a computer tomography	minimum 1 year after surgery
Secondary	Quality of life by GIQLI	Estimate the quality of life using a standardized questionnaire (Gastrointestinal Qualitiy of Life Index = GIQLI) at least one year after surgery	minimum 1 year after surgery
Secondary	Clinical outcome	Evaluate the clinical outcome at least one year after surgery by examining the patient and asking targeted questions on the symptoms regarding the former hiatal hernia (using visual analogue scale questions on dysphagia, meteorism, bloating, reflux and retrosternal pain). Furthermore the patients are asked about their general satisfaction regarding the performed surgical intervention.	minimum 1 year after surgery
Secondary	Peri- and postoperative morbidity / mortality	Evaluate the peri- and postoperative morbidity and mortality from the patient records and a clinical examination	minimum 1 year after surgery
