Abstract
AS CATARACT SURGEONS, WE COME ACROSS AN ARRAY OF COMPLEX CASES IN DAILY PRACTICE AND EVEN STRAIGHTFORWARD CASES OFTEN TURN CHALLENGING INTRA-OPERATIVELY. APART FROM BEING ADEPT AT PERFORMING ROUTINE CATARACT SURGERY, IT IS IMPERATIVE TO HAVE SKILLS TO MANAGE COMPLICATIONS AND THE CONFIDENCE TO TAKE UP CHALLENGING CASES. THIS IS WHERE THE ‘SURGICAL BATTLE BOX’ COMES IN – AN ARMAMENTARIUM OF DEVICES AND TECHNIQUES TO HELP SURGEONS CONQUER ALL CATARACTS. THIS COURSE TAKEN BY HIGHLY EXPERIENCED INSTRUCTORS WILL BE A VIDEO BASED GUIDE TO USING VARIOUS PUPIL EXPANDERS, DIFFERENT CAPSULAR SUPPORT SYSTEMS, SPECIAL VISCOELASTICS, THE MILOOP DEVICE FOR HARD CATARACTS, IOL EXPLANTATION INSTRUMENTS AND TECHNIQUES AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS DEVICES SUCH AS THE TROCAR AND CANNULA, A PCR MESH, ETC
THIS COURSE WILL HELP BEGINNER AND ADVANCED SURGEONS ALIKE AS IT SHOWCASES A RANGE OF DEVICES AND TECHNIQUES – STEP BY STEP – THAT EVERY CATARACT SURGEON WILL NEED IN THEIR SURGICAL TOOLBOX.
