About
Dr. Diya Alaedeen is a leading surgical researcher whose work centers on improving outcomes in foregut and hernia surgery, with a particular focus on paraesophageal hernia repair (PEHR). Her major contribution lies in addressing the critical problem of high radiographic recurrence rates—over 50% at five years—following PEHR. To tackle this, she designed a landmark randomized controlled trial protocol comparing anterior gastropexy to no anterior gastropexy, a low-risk intervention that may significantly reduce hernia recurrence. This prospective study, published in 2022, represents a pivotal step toward evidence-based standardization in a field long reliant on retrospective data. Though early in its citation history, the protocol has already garnered attention for its rigorous methodology and potential to change surgical practice. Dr. Alaedeen’s work exemplifies how thoughtful trial design can address persistent clinical challenges, offering a pathway to durable patient outcomes. Her research is essential reading for surgeons and trainees seeking to understand the nuances of hiatal hernia management and the role of prophylactic gastropexy.
