[Cataract extraction with rotated-chipping phacoemulsification in the capsule]
1Department of Ophthalmology, Railway Hospital, Shanghai Railway University, Shanghai 200072, China.
Objective:
To observe the clinical effects of rotated-chipping phacoemulsification in the capsule.
Methods:
The operation of continuous circular capsulectomy, nuclear hydrodissection, cataract extraction with rotated-chipping phacoemulsification in capsule and intraocular lens implantation was performed on 215 eyes.
Results:
Rotated-chipping technique was successfully completed in 215 eyes. In the operation 2 to 4 circles were rotated with the ultrasonic energy 19.3% for 12 seconds on average. The rate of corneal endothelium loss was 7.5%.
Conclusion:
The technique of rotated-chipping phacoemulsification in capsule is safe and rapid which can be used for cataracts with nuclei of various degrees in sclerosis.
