Phacoemulsification of a nucleus in the vitreous cavity

Loss of the crystalline lens into the vitreous cavity can lead to corneal damage and expulsive hemorrhage. In this technique, the lens is released from adhesions by vitrectomy and then extracted from the vitreous cavity by phacoemulsification using a special tip. No protective liquids are used to co...

Zusammenfassung:	Loss of the crystalline lens into the vitreous cavity can lead to corneal damage and expulsive hemorrhage. In this technique, the lens is released from adhesions by vitrectomy and then extracted from the vitreous cavity by phacoemulsification using a special tip. No protective liquids are used to cover the retina. This technique was successful in 44 patients.
