Course Description
Course will analyse phacoemulsification errors and management through case scenarios, videos, and panel discussions. Topics include case selection, biometry, incision, rhexis, hydroprocedures, fluidics, nuclear emulsification, posterior capsule rupture, vitrectomy, and IOL placement. Management of cataracts, such as soft, posterior polar, white, brunescent, subluxated, and those with pseudoexfoliation, small pupil, and IFIS, will also be covered.
Educational Objective
I want learners to be able to identify surgical errors and their warning signs, comprehend the causative factors, understand the impending catastrophe, and rectify errors with the correct decisions. Knowledge gained by using a root cause analysis approach will be invaluable and significantly improve their ability to achieve better surgical outcomes.
