Brian Kim, MD, described a similar technique called Cross Chop: Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2009-08-01, Volume 35, Issue 8, Pages 1335-1337. There is no grooving and cracking, as the Cross Chop is a pure chop technique. The principle is the same for chopping the heminuclei across from the paracentesis by reaching over with the chopper and using the phaco handpiece in the groove for counterpressure. The Cross Chop is a non-rotational technique, also.
