About this study

Official title: The Explore Study for the Efficacy and Safety of Multi-electrocoagulation Retinectomy in the Treatment of Retinal Re-detachment in Silicone Oil Filled Eye

Retinal re-detachment in silicone oil filled eye, especially in the traumatic eye, is a complex retinal detachment with poor prognosis.

In this study, the investigators try to apply a modified surgery as Multi-electrocoagulation retinectomy to reattach the retina. Here the investigators aimed to explore the safety and efficacy of this new surgical approach

Read the detailed description

The relaxing retinectomy is a useful surgery for retinal re-detachment in eyes with silicone oil filled. However, it has some obvious disadvantages such as the cut of the normal retina surrounding, leaving a large area of retinal deficiency and significant exposure of retinal pigment epithelium and choroid membranes.

In this study, we try to apply a modified surgery named Multi-electrocoagulation retinectomy to re-attach the retina.

Instead of cutting through the proliferated retina directly, this new surgical approach adopts to cut the retina apart in a honeycomb shape with the help of electrocoagulation.

In this way, we not only relax the traction of the proliferative membranes, but also reserve the rest retina to cover the RPE layers.

Based on the hypothesis above, we are aiming to explore the safety and efficacy of this new surgical approach

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Multi-electrocoagulation retinectomyProcedure or surgery

    a modified surgery named "multi-electrocoagulation retinectomy" to re-attach the retina.

    All the single surgical technique and devices involved in this modified surgery are used commonly in clinic.

    Base on this, the investigator changes the traditional sequence of these single surgical techniques, and combine them into a new surgical process.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Multi-electrocoagulation retinectomy in people with Retinal Detachment, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Xiaofeng Lin, Dr (02087330000, linxiaof@mail.sysu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

retina reattachment rate (time frame: 3 months after the surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02201706, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
