About this study

The aim of this study is to report the effectiveness of phacoaspiration when combined with angle surgery in preventing postoperative glaucoma following pediatric cataract surgery

Read the detailed description

As postoperative glaucoma could be the consequence of a dysgenesis of the iridocorneal angle that accompanies the dysgenesis of the lens so, the hypothesis states that combined phacoaspiration with angle surgery may be superior to phacoaspiration as standalone procedure in controlling IOP within the normal range postoperatively after pediatric cataract surgery

  • Patients with pediatric cataract will be subdivided into 2 groups: Group A: includes eyes for whom combined phacoaspiration \& angle surgery will be done.

Group B: includes eyes for whom phacoaspiration only will be done. All surgeries will be performed in Mansoura Ophthalmic Center by the same surgeon or under his supervision.

Preoperative:

  1. History: Full ocular \& general history will be taken Ocular history: history of ocular trauma, ocular surgeries \& wearing glasses. General medical history: age, history of any associated neurologic, metabolic or systemic disease or drug intake.
  2. Examination: Full ocular examination will be done
  • Anterior segment examination using (Topcon or Zeiss surgical microscopes) or (Zeiss or hag streit slit lamps).
  • Corneal diameter will be measured.
  • Fundus examination using indirect ophthalmoscope (KEELER Vantage Plus indirect ophthalmoscope) if the fundus is visible.
  • IOP measuring using Schoitz tonometer.
  • Refraction (if the eye can be refracted) \& K readings will be measured using portable autorefractometer (Retinomax K-plus2).
  1. Investigations:
  • Axial length, anterior chamber depth \& Ocular biometry will be measured using (Nidek Al-Scan Optical Biometer).
  • B-scan will be done using (Nidek Us-4000 Echoscan).
  • Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) scan will be performed using (VuMAX HD).

Intraoperative:

  1. Group A: for whom combined phacoaspiration \& angle surgery ither trabeculotomy will be done. I
  • Partial thickness scleral flap to access the canal of schlemm.
  • 2 side ports will be fashioned.
  • Trypan blue will be injected to aid visualization of the anterior capsule \& continuous curvilinear anterior capsulorhexis of approximately 5.0 mm diameter will be done.
  • The nucleus and cortex will be aspirated.
  • Posterior capsulrehxis and limited anterior vitrectomy will be done.
  • Corneal incisions will be sutured with 10-0 Nylon suture.
  • Using metal trabeculotomes to open thetrabecular meshwork after accessing the canal of schlemm.
  • Suturing of scleral flap with 10-0 Nylon suture.
  1. Group B: for whom phacoaspiration only will be done.
  • 2 side ports will be fashioned.
  • Trypan blue will be injected to aid visualization of the anterior capsule \& continuous curvilinear anterior capsulorhexis of approximately 5.0 mm diameter will be done.
  • The nucleus and cortex will be aspirated.
  • Posterior capsulrehxis and limited anterior vitrectomy will be done.
  • Corneal incisions will be sutured with 10-0 Nylon suture.

Postoperative:

  1. All patients will be discharged on:
  • Systemic \&topical antibiotic eye drops.
  • Topical steroids.
  • Cycloplegic eye drops.
  • Combined antibiotic and steroid eye ointment.
  1. Topical Steroids \& cycloplegic eye drops will be gradually withdrawn over a period of 3 months.
  2. The eyes will be carefully examined at each follow-up visit (1 week, 2 weeks 1months and 3 months).
  3. During each visit:
  • Anterior segment examination will be done.
  • Measuring of:
  • Corneal diameter.
  • Cup/disc ratio.
  • IOP using Schoitz tonometer.
  • Axial length, anterior chamber depth.

Group A :combined phacoaspiration and angle surgery, Group B : phacoaspiration only

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Group A :combined phacoaspiration and angle surgery and Group B : phacoaspiration only in people with Pediatric Glaucoma, run by Mansoura 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?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 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 8 Sep 2022. 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 Egypt. 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?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intraocular pressure (time frame: up to one year follow up). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Sep 2022.
