3087: right eye, right hand & left eye, left hand
Sitting superiorly at the head of the bed while maintaining a temporal incision orientation is a unique ergonomic setup that relies on true ambidexterity. By holding the primary phaco handpiece in the right hand for right eyes and in the left hand for left eyes, the surgeon eliminates the physical footprint changes associated with moving the microscope and footpedals between right and left temporal seating positions. This hybrid approach secures the ergonomic advantages of a temporal incision, such as reduced induced astigmatism and easier surgical access, while streamlining operating room turnaround time between consecutive eyes.Watch the video to observe how true ambidexterity enables seamless temporal incision surgery from a superior seating position. Are you fully ambidextrous in the operating room, or do you prefer repositioning yourself and the microscope temporally for each eye? Please comment your thoughts below.
