A new manual nuclear fragmentation technique, forceps-guided nuclear cleavage, is presented for cataract surgery. This method involves controlled fragmentation of the nucleus within the eye for improved surgical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Cataract surgery requires efficient nucleus removal.
  • Existing techniques may have limitations in certain scenarios.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and describe a novel manual nuclear fragmentation technique: forceps-guided nuclear cleavage.
  • To detail the steps involved in this innovative surgical approach.

Main Methods:

  • A superior scleral incision (5.5-7.0 mm) is created posterior to the limbus.
  • Corneal paracenteses (1.0 mm) are made at 3 and 9 o'clock.
  • A capsulorhexis with radial relaxing incisions is performed, followed by cortex removal and nucleus prolapse into the anterior chamber.
  • A nucleus hook stabilizes the nucleus, and nucleus cleaving forceps are used to divide the nucleus into halves.

Main Results:

  • The described technique facilitates manual fragmentation of the cataract nucleus.
  • Specific instrumentation and steps are outlined for controlled nuclear cleavage.

Conclusions:

  • Forceps-guided nuclear cleavage offers a manual approach for nucleus fragmentation in cataract surgery.
  • This technique provides a method for controlled division of the nucleus for removal.
