The Bimanual Rhexis for MICS

Show Description +

Thierry Amzallag, MD, presents a new capsulorhexis technique that uses chopsticks instead of forceps. The two capsulorhexis chopsticks are introduced through sub–1-mm clear corneal incisions at the 8- and 4-o'clock positions, and the capsular tear is initiated in the horizontal plane using a shearing technique.

When I see reusable microforceps or diamonds I imagine the thousands of eyes they carry on their shoulders and the posible prion residues, TASS inducing substances and unsuspected cross contamination agents.

rhexis using a systotome is good in my experience

This is the worst capsulorhexis technique i have ever seen.

Why would you not just use a cystotome to do the rhexis through the same incision size?

This is nonsense

tell me again whats the advantage of this technique, besides making the rhexis harder to make?
