ASCRS 2022 Video Award Winner- In house production- Dr. Eduardo Roditi

The first one hundred capsulorhexes. Purpose: Performing a successful well-centered and correctly sized circular curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) is an essential skill for cataract surgeons. The journey from first attempts to the perfection of this crucial step in modern cataract surgery is timely and challenging. In this video, I present my first one hundred capsulorhexes with pitfalls and pearls that I have learned along the way. Setting/Venue: Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Israel. Methods: A review of cataract surgical videos performed during my first years of ophthalmology residency. Results: The journey begins as I review the literature, watch endless surgical videos and shadow senior surgeons in the operating room. It progresses to wet labs and virtual reality surgical simulators. The day finally arrives when I attempt my first real capsulorhexis, and I fail... yet I persevere, until success. I'm starting to understand, but more challenges arrive: sizing issues, baby rhexis, huge rhexis, run-outs, Littel maneuver, challenging viewing conditions, trypan blue, small pupils, and intumescent cataracts. Slowly I continue to improve and before I know it I have completed one hundred capsulorhexes. Conclusions: Even after performing one hundred capsulorhexes the journey to mastery is long. Surely, with continued learning and perseverance, we can all eventually arrive.
