We introduced an optimized surgical approach for small incision lenticule extraction, termed the Ye's Swing Technique. This technique enables the surgeon to perform lenticule separation and extraction more easily while minimizing the risk of incision-edge tears and lenticule fragmentation. The results of this study proved its safety and efficacy.

Capsulorhexis is an important step in phacoemulsification surgery. A surgeon creates a continous curvilinear tear on the anterior lens capsule by controlling the tearing vector forces. A peripherally extended tear is a serious complication. This video demonstrates a novel technique of rescuing capsular radial tear out using a cystotome.

Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer. Some...

FAQs
Tear prevention depends on clearly identifying the anterior and posterior tissue planes before extraction and separating them with precision. This approach limits unnecessary mechanical stress on the thin lenticule. Controlled traction then supports removal through the small incision without applying excessive force, helping preserve the intended tissue shape and reducing the likelihood that part of the lenticule remains in the cornea.
The lenticule’s shape is central to the intended refractive correction. Mechanical damage or tearing can make removal less straightforward and may leave retained tissue behind. Preserving the tissue during dissection therefore supports more complete extraction, reduces the need for additional manipulation, and helps maintain predictable visual outcomes after the planned corneal procedure.
The principal mechanical concern is stress applied during tissue-plane separation and extraction. Inaccurate dissection can make plane identification less controlled, while excessive or poorly directed traction can deform or tear the lenticule. Focusing on precise separation and restrained traction addresses these factors directly, making removal more orderly and reducing avoidable disruption of the tissue.
Completing extraction does not by itself indicate that the tissue was removed without damage or retained fragments. A prevention-focused approach emphasizes the quality of plane identification, dissection, and traction throughout the procedure. This distinction matters because an apparently completed extraction may still involve tearing, additional manipulation, or incomplete correction if the lenticule’s intended form is not preserved.
The essential sequence is to identify the anterior and posterior tissue planes, separate them precisely, and then extract the lenticule through the small incision using controlled traction. Each step contributes to limiting mechanical stress. Careful execution can simplify removal, reduce the chance of retained tissue, and decrease the need for corrective manipulation during or after extraction.
In medicine, this topic provides a framework for evaluating how dissection and extraction are performed rather than focusing only on the final removal. Surgical training can emphasize plane recognition, precise tissue separation, and controlled traction as quality objectives. These principles also support complication prevention and refinement of corneal laser techniques by linking technical performance with tissue integrity and visual predictability.
