An adequately sized, intact capsulorhexis is a key to the outcome of any phacoemulsification procedure. Cystitome is widely used to create a continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis. A 'frozen' capsule (crumpled capsule) mixed with viscoelastic and cortex, however can result in loss of control while using a cystitome. The Sinskey's hook introduced through the side-port, can stabilize the globe as well as work in coordination with the cystitome to spread out the jumbled up anterior capsule allowing visualization of the tear edge in the Bimanual technique. The capsulorhexis is thereby completed comfortably obviating the need of capsulorhexis forceps or repeated injection of ophthalmic viscosurgical device.

Microincision phacoemulsification combined with sutureless transpupillary passive silicone oil removal.
Indian J Ophthalmol
September 2021
Cataract and Refractive Surgery Services, Centre for Sight, Safdarjung Enclave, New Delhi, India.
Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes of combined microincision phacoemulsification with sutureless transpupillary silicone oil (SO) removal using an irrigation probe of bimanual irrigation/aspiration.
Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective study, including patients who had undergone phacoemulsification with transpupillary removal of SO, which had been used for intraocular tamponade after a previous pars plana vitrectomy. Outcome measures were corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), refractive error, intraocular pressure (IOP), and endothelial cell count (ECC) evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively at 3-month follow-up.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of bimanual capsulorhexis combined with sutureless scleral-fixated intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in children diagnosed as having Marfan syndrome.
Methods: The study included 14 eyes with subluxated lenses of 7 children who were diagnosed as having Marfan syndrome and underwent bimanual capsulorhexis combined with sutureless scleral-fixated IOL implantation by the same surgeon between 2015 and 2019 at the University of Health Sciences, Kartal Dr. Lütfi Kirdar City Hospital's Eye Department.
Long-Term Evaluation of Capsulotomy Shape and Posterior Capsule Opacification after Low-Energy Bimanual Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery.
J Ophthalmol
September 2020
Institute of Ophthalmology, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Modena, Italy.
Purpose: To evaluate capsulotomy shape and posterior capsule opacification (PCO) during an 18-month follow-up for bimanual femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS).
Methods: 74 eyes operated by a well-trained surgeon with bimanual FLACS technique using low-energy LDV Z8 (Ziemer Ophthalmic Systems AG, Port, Switzerland) were included in the study. The follow-up period was 18 ± 2 months.

Does Cataract Surgery Simulation Correlate with Real-life Experience?
Turk J Ophthalmol
June 2018
Selçuk University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology, Konya, Turkey.
Objectives: To evaluate the correlation of cataract surgical simulator and real-life surgical experience and its contribution to surgical training.
Materials And Methods: Sixteen doctors in our department were divided into three groups based on their surgical experience. After being familiarized with the device, the participants were evaluated while performing the navigation, forceps, bimanual practice, anti-tremor and capsulorhexis stages.
