This study presents a modified stop and chop phacoemulsification technique for cataract surgery. The in situ chopping method is effective for hard nuclei and small pupils, improving surgical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Cataract Surgery

Background:

  • Phacoemulsification is a common cataract surgery method.
  • Standard techniques can be challenging with hard nuclei or small pupils.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel variation of the stop and chop phacoemulsification technique.
  • To highlight its utility in specific challenging surgical scenarios.

Main Methods:

  • A modified chopping technique involving posterior depression of the chopper's vertical element.
  • In situ chopping of nuclear fragments within the capsulorhexis margin.
  • Utilizing the phaco probe primarily for aspiration of small fragments.

Main Results:
