SICS (MANUAL PHACO) & IOL IMPLANTATION USING FISHHOOK TECHNIQUE SUVI EYE INSTITUTE KOTA INDIA.mpg

In this video eye surgeons of Suvi Eye Institute & Research Center, Kota, Rajasthan, India (www.suvieye.com) share pearls for performing Sutureless Cataract Surgery & IOL Implantation using Fishhook Technique, developed by Dr A Henning, Nepal. The fishhook technique is used for the extraction of the nucleus with a bent 30-G needle (Fishhook) out of the capsular bag and the self-sealing corneo-scleral tunnel. All sizes of nuclei can be extracted. The 'Fishhook' technique, a low cost, timesparing, and effective cataract extraction method that is helpful to perform extremely high-volume surgery to remove very mature, very large cataracts quickly and easily. The fishhook technique has a short learning curve, a low complication rate and provides excellent immediate visual outcome. It is cost-effective and has proved to be useful also for high-volume cataract surgery and thus can play an important role in the reduction of cataract blindness.
Advantages of the fishhook technique include-
•Only one additional instrument is needed (Fishhook).
•The nucleus does not need to be brought into the anterior chamber. It is extracted with the hook out of the capsular bag straight through the self-sealing tunnel. Thus there is reduced risk for endothelial damage.
•Extracting the nucleus with the hook through the self-sealing tunnel requires a smaller tunnel size.
•All nuclei, even very big and hard ones can be extracted with the hook.
The fishhook technique has also proved to be suitable for high-volume surgery. The fishhook technique has proved to be easy to learn, fast and safe and provides excellent outcome. Therefore it can play a significant role in the reduction of cataract blindness in remote part of developing world, where majority of cataract patients brought to ophthalmologist for surgery at very late stage.

Superb. Thanks for sharing.

have been wanting to see this again.

Saw it first in a presentation at an Aravind workshop when the Lehan experience was discussed.
