Extensibility and scanning electron microscopy evaluation of 5 pediatric anterior capsulotomy techniques in a porcine model

Abstract

The manual CCC technique produced the most extensible porcine capsulotomy, followed by the plasma blade, vitrectorhexis, can-opener, and radio-frequency techniques, in a porcine model. The manual CCC technique also produced the smoothest anterior capsulotomy edge according SEM evaluation.
