2973: Resident case 400 is pretty good
This anonymous resident surgeon delivers a solid performance for the 400th case, but there is still plenty of room for refinement and improvement. While the image shows a reasonable capsulorhexis, it could be better centered and more uniform in diameter to facilitate easier nuclear disassembly. The chopping technique also needs work to ensure complete, clean fragmentation down to the baseline. Most importantly, the video highlights a first attempt at the advanced Rosatelli nucleus spin technique. While the ambition is commendable, my strong advice is to not worry about trying advanced maneuvers like the Rosatelli spin until you have at least 2000 cases under your belt. Right now, your primary focus should be entirely on mastering and perfecting the fundamentals of a routine case. Keep practicing, stick to the basics, and the advanced speed will naturally follow. Keep up the good work!
