Bimanual phacoemulsification through 2 stab incisions

Abstract

The energy necessary to obtain a wound burn during 2-incision bimanual ultrasound-based phacoemulsification with a bare aspiration needle in human cadaver eyes was extremely high. The parameters necessary to create a wound burn in each modality occurred well beyond normal clinical settings and provide evidence that 2-stab ultrasound-based lens extraction can be performed safely with the Sovereign machine.
