Torsional power study using CENTURION phacoemulsification technology

UCLA residents review “ Intraocular pressure study using Centurion phacoemulsification technology ” Intraocular pressure study using Centurion phacoemulsification technology

Background As UCLA residents, we have the privilege of operating at 4 separate hospitals, each of them with a different phacoemulsification platform. Understanding the various phaco settings and occlusion surge minimizing features of each platform helps us maintain safety and efficiency as we rotate through our multiple hospitals. Currently, the Centurion system (Alcon, Fort Worth, Texas) is be...

Torsional: a New Era in Phacoemulsification Torsional: a New Era in Phacoemulsification

Impact of intelligent phacoemulsification software on torsional phacoemulsification surgery

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare phacoemulsification energy parameters during torsional phacoemulsification with or without the use of intelligent phacoemulsification (IP) software. METHODS One hundred and twenty-eight eyes with nuclear grades ranging from 1 to 5 were enrolled in this randomized prospective study. Operated eyes were divided into two groups, ie, those operat...

Intravitreal Phacoemulsification Using Torsional Handpiece for Retained Lens Fragments

PURPOSE To evaluate the results of intravitreal phacoemulsification with torsional hand piece in eyes with posteriorly dislocated lens fragments. METHODS In this prospective, interventional case series, 15 eyes with retained lens fragments following phacoemulsification were included. All patients underwent standard three-port pars plana vitrectomy and intravitreal phacoemulsification using sl...

Power modulations in new phacoemulsification technology: improved outcomes.

PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical outcomes of new phacoemulsification technology. SETTING Oregon Eye Institute, Eugene, Oregon, USA. METHODS After optimization of surgical parameters, patients were randomly assigned to cataract extraction with 1 of 4 phacoemulsification machines using new technology available within the past 1 to 2 years. Outcomes were compared with previously published resu...
