An interventional study of Extropia squint surgery in Exotropia Equal or More Than 50 Prism Diopter, sponsored by Sohag University. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 3 Years to 50 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-08-27.
Sponsored by Sohag University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This is a randomized comparative interventional study that aims to compare the surgical outcomes of correcting large angle exotropia (≥50 prism diopter) by three different surgical techniques including: 1/ bilateral lateral rectus muscle recession with unilateral medial rectus muscle resection 2/bilateral medial rectus muscle resection, 3/unilateral medial rectus muscle resection with lateral rectus muscle transplantation,
This is a randomized comparative interventional study that will be conducted on patients with large angle exotropia before and after doing surgical correction using three different surgical techniques including : 1/ bilateral lateral rectus muscle recession with unilateral medial rectus muscle resection 2/bilateral medial rectus muscle resection, 3/unilateral medial rectus muscle resection with lateral rectus muscle transplantation ,to compare the surgical outcomes between them.
58 studies on the registry are indexed under Exotropia; 13 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 60 is above the median of 50 across 49 interventional studies indexed under Exotropia.

Start is estimated for Sep 2025; primary completion for Jul 2027, 22 months later.
Of 29 interventional studies with no phase under Exotropia, half reached primary completion within 17 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 46. This study's planned 22 months is above that.
