intervention:

Preoperative preparation:

Preoperative cone beam CT. A clearance from the ophthalmology department after examination of papillary reflexes, motility restriction and measurement of the visual acuity.

Laboratory Investigations: blood picture, liver functions, kidneys functions,coagulation profile Informed consent signed by the patient. (NM and RH) will perform all procedures under general anesthesia . Intervention :Endoscopic trans-maxillary (through the maxillary sinus) surgical approach.

control group: Traditional trans-orbital surgical approaches. follow up clinically and radio-graphically for 6 months.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    endoscopic trans-antral approach

    The maxillary sinus and prolapsed orbital contents will be visualized employing a 30-degree endoscope for the repair of orbital blow out fracture (sinus scope 4 mm, 30 degrees short one 17 cm).

    Procedure: endoscopic trans-antral approach

  • Active comparator
    trans-orbital surgical approach

    trans-orbital surgical approach through the lower eyelid Sub-ciliary incision ( through the lower eyelid) The skin incision is made just below the eyelashes.

    Procedure: trans-orbital surgical approach

Interventions

  • Procedureendoscopic trans-antral approach

    new surgical approach to repair the orbital floor fractures through the maxillary sinus

    Also known as: trans-maxillary

  • Proceduretrans-orbital surgical approach

    through the lower eyelid below the eyelashes ,then down to bone the herniated orbital content will be reduced through this incision traditional surgical approach to repair orbital floor fractures

    Also known as: sub-ciliary incision, lower eyelid incision, skin incision

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 21, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
