Management of dropped nucleus

Nucleus Drop is a known complication of cataract surgery which can be seen in about 18 out of every 10,000 cases. Dr Sukhichand (*name changed), a highly experienced phaco surgeon had a nucleus drop. He didn't panic. He not only placed an IOL but immediately referred the patient to Dr Pratik Mahajan. Latest technology of 25 G Vitrectomy system and Fragmentation help deal with the case. Since the fragmentome goes inside the eye through a 19G port we have to use a MVR knife for sclerotomy. The corneal insicion by Dr Sukhichand is very stable. . In this case the cataract nucleus is stony hard. Fragmentome uses ultrasound energy to break the nucleus into pieces. The patient responded well to the surgery and had an outcome equivalent to an uneventful phaco surgery.
