Microcoaxial phacoemulsification (MCP) safely reduces cataract surgery incision width. Further phacoemulsification parameter adjustments are needed for improved efficiency in this advanced cataract surgery technique.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Cataract Surgery

Background:

  • Minimizing incision width is a key trend in modern cataract surgery.
  • Microcoaxial phacoemulsification (MCP) represents a recent advancement in this area.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively evaluate the surgical experience and outcomes of microcoaxial phacoemulsification (MCP).

Main Methods:

  • 109 eyes with senile cataract underwent surgery.
  • MCP group: 2.2 mm incision, hydrophobic intraocular lens.
  • Comparison with a control group using 3.0 mm standard phacoemulsification.

Main Results:

  • MCP allowed reduction in total surgical time with increasing experience.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Excellent anterior chamber stability (89%) and wound closure (70%) were observed.
  • Higher effective phacoemulsification time in MCP group (10.17s) vs. standard (4.98s).

    • Conclusions:

    • MCP facilitates rapid and straightforward reduction of incision width in cataract surgery.
    • While safety is maintained, efficiency improvements require phacoemulsification parameter optimization.
