This is an anonymous resident surgeon who is performing the pit and chop technique. Much like the submarine chop, this involves creating a pit with the phaco probe in order to embed it deeper into the dense central endo-nucleus. This facilitates chopping by securing the grip or hold on the nucleus with the phaco probe. Watch the video and please leave a comment for improvement for this young surgeon in training.
