Article Synopsis
  • - The study aims to identify hand position archetypes used by experienced surgeons during manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) to create a standardized language and techniques for teaching.
  • - Experienced surgeons performed specific MSICS steps in a lab, while their hand movements were recorded through images and videos to establish common hand position archetypes.
  • - The findings highlighted key hand positions for each surgical step and suggested that formalizing these positions could enhance trainee learning, influence instrument design, and potentially improve surgical results.
