About this study

Official title: Phacoemulsification Combined With Trabeculectomy Versus Phacoemulsification Combined With Trabeculotomy for Treatment of Chronic Angle Closure Glaucoma

A prospective, randomized comparative study on adult patients with synechial angle closure glaucoma.

Read the detailed description

Patients were randomized into two groups: group A : patients will undergo two site phacoemulfication combined with trabeculectomy Group B with Phacoemulsification combined with ab-externo trabeculotomy. Preoperative assessments including full ophthalmic examination, anterior segment Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) of the angle , endothelial cell count , visual fiend Perimetry and Biometry. Patients were followed up: first day, first week and every two months for 6 month. We will compare adverse effects and outcomes in both groups.

Being tested
Phacoemulsification combined with trabeculectomy, Phacoemulsificaiton combined with ab-externo trabeculotomy
Medical subject headings
Eye Diseases, Glaucoma, Glaucoma, Angle-Closure

What participants receive

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

  • Phacoemulsification combined with trabeculectomyProcedure or surgery

    Patients with chronic angle closure glaucoma assigned to this group will have fornex based trabeculectomy at superior limbus and then phacoemulsification via temporal incision

  • Phacoemulsificaiton combined with ab-externo trabeculotomyProcedure or surgery

    Patients with chronic angle closure glaucoma assigned to this group will have Deep Sclerectomy with ab externo trabeculotomy at superior limbus and then phacoemulsification via temporal incision

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Phacoemulsification combined with trabeculectomy and Phacoemulsificaiton combined with ab-externo trabeculotomy in people with Ophthalmopathy and Glaucoma, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?
