The goal of this clinical trial is to compare whether the use of Ovitex mesh provides superior reduction in 2-year recurrence compared to pledgeted suture closure (no mesh) for patients undergoing paraesophageal hernia repair at the Cleveland Clinic. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Determine whether there is a difference in 2-year rates of radiographic recurrence with Ovitex versus pledgeted sutures in paraesophageal hernia repair. * Assess patient quality of life (QOL) after paraesophageal hernia repair with pledgets and mesh. A two-tailed research hypothesis will be used to determine whether there are differences between the two arms
