    ACCORDING TO THE LITERATURE, A PROSPECTIVE STUDY ANALYZED THE RECURRENCE RATE, COMPLICATIONS, AND CLINICAL OUTCOMES BETWEEN THE USE OF BIOLOGICAL OR SYNTHETIC (PARIETEX COMPOSITE) MESH FOR LAPAROSCOPIC REPAIR OF HIATAL HERNIAS. THERE WERE 174 PATIENTS ENROLLED FROM APRIL 2022 TO FEBRUARY 2024. BOTH MESH TYPES WERE FIXED ON THE DIAPHRAGM WITH ABSORBABLE PROTACKS. POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS INCLUDED 1 CASE OF MESH-RELATED REACTION, 2 PATIENTS WITH HERNIA RECURRENCE, AND 5 PATIENTS THAT STILL REQUIRED MEDICATION FOR ACID REFLUX.
