    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Phacoemulsification offers advantages in cataract surgery but has disadvantages.
    • Classical extracapsular and intracapsular methods have their own limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel extracapsular cataract extraction technique.
    • To combine the benefits of phacoemulsification and large-wound extraction while minimizing disadvantages.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified extracapsular cataract extraction technique was developed.
    • The technique utilizes an irrigating cystotome and facilitates firm nucleus delivery.
    • An intact posterior capsule is maintained throughout the procedure.

    Main Results:

    • The technique was successfully applied in 25 cases.
    • Follow-up exceeded nine months with no reported complications.
    • No secondary opacification of the posterior capsule was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • This technique offers a safe and effective alternative for extracapsular cataract extraction.
    • It preserves the advantages of extracapsular surgery when intracapsular surgery is not ideal.
    • The method combines benefits of small and large wound approaches without significant drawbacks.
