True Muscle Transplantation vs Augmented Semi Hang-Back Recession for Large Angle Exotropia

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized, interventional trial compares two surgical approaches for large-angle exotropia. Forty participants with exotropia greater than 50 prism diopters and no prior squint surgery will be assigned to either true muscle transplantation or augmented semi hang-back recession. Participants will be followed for six months to measure eye alignment and overall surgical success. The study is conducted at Minya University Hospital under the leadership of Hassnaa Mohamed Abdelhameed Ahmed.
