Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percentage of objective recurrence of a hiatal hernia	Objective measurement of the integrity of the hiatal hernia repair by CT-imaging	5-10 years
Secondary	Percentage of clinical recurrence of a hiatal hernia	Recurrence of symptoms related to a hiatal hernia measured by a questionnaire	5-10 years
Secondary	Symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease	Percentage of participants that develop postoperative gastroesophageal reflux disease, measured by a questionnaire	5-10 years
Secondary	Patient satisfaction	Overall satisfaction with surgical outcome measured by a questionnaire, on a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 means very unsatisfied with the outcome of the operation and 10 means very satisfied with the outcome of the operation. An additional question will be asked that assesses if the patient would undergo the operation again and can be answered by a simple 'yes' or 'no'.	5-10 years
