This study introduces a new one-handed phacoemulsification technique using low aspiration settings. It allows for safe nucleus segmentation with ultrasonic energy, eliminating the need for additional instruments.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Surgical Techniques

Background:

Phacoemulsification is a common cataract surgery method.
Current techniques may require multiple instruments for nucleus segmentation.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a novel one-handed phacoemulsification technique.
To evaluate its efficacy and safety for nucleus segmentation.

Main Methods:

Phacoemulsification performed one-handed with low aspiration flow and vacuum.
Utilized a peristaltic pump machine.
Employed ultrasonic energy for nucleus segmentation.

Main Results:

The technique proved effective in cadaver eyes and clinical settings.
Demonstrated simplicity and safety in application.

Eliminated the need for a second instrument during nucleus segmentation.

Conclusions:

The described one-handed phacoemulsification technique is a viable option.
Offers a safe and effective method for cataract surgery.
Simplifies the surgical procedure by reducing instrument dependency.
