    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Cataract Surgery

    Background:

    • Phacoemulsification is a standard cataract surgery method.
    • Nuclear density and pupil size can complicate phacoemulsification.
    • In-the-bag nuclear fracturing offers potential advantages.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new in situ phacoemulsification technique.
    • To evaluate the characteristics and benefits of this novel approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Hydrodissection of the lens nucleus.
    • In situ division of the nucleus into quadrants within the capsular bag.
    • Quadrant manipulation to the central emulsification zone.

    Main Results:

  • The technique allows nuclear fracturing inside the capsular bag.
  • Successful emulsification of nuclear fragments.
  • Demonstrated safety and speed in surgical procedures.

    • Conclusions:

    • This in situ phacoemulsification technique is safe and efficient.
    • It is versatile, applicable to various nuclear densities.
    • It is particularly useful in small or undilatable pupils.
