Phaco Chop: Mastering Techniques, Optimizing Technology, and Avoiding Complications covers everything from step-by-step instruction for the beginner to advanced chopping for complicated cases or bimanual phaco. As the first text completely devoted to this popular topic, it is equally relevant to transitioning surgeons and to those already experienced with chopping. Phaco Chop has four major sections, beginning with a detailed guide for learning phaco chop and its main variations. David F. Chang, MD along with contributing authors Randall J. Olson, MD; Louis D. "Skip" Nichamin, MD; and Barry S. Seibel, MD outline their pearls based upon years of experience in teaching residents and transitioning surgeons. The second section is devoted to the phacodynamics of chopping-the general principles of instrumentation and configuring machine parameters. As a unique feature, four separate chapters are specifically devoted to optimizing the Legacy, Infiniti, Sovereign, and Millennium machines for chopping. Strategies for managing complicated cases and complications comprise the primary focus for the third section. While chopping techniques are particularly advantageous for complicated cataracts, they must be integrated with other devices and strategies. Newer strategies for posterior capsule rupture include the Viscoat PAL, Viscoat Trap, and the pars plana anterior vitrectomy. These options are relevant for any phaco surgeon, regardless of technique or experience. The last section explores a topic that is generating growing interest - bimanual phaco. This is a promising and advanced application that combines phaco chop with the latest innovations in micro-incisional phaco technology. Additionally, a DVD is included containing 2 hours of instructional video that complement and supplement the text. Together with the many high-resolution operative photographs, this paired format overcomes the limitations of learning new and advanced surgical techniques from a text alone. With its comprehensive and integrated emphasis on advanced surgical techniques, optimizing phaco technology, and complication management, Phaco Chop appeals equally to beginning surgeons and residents, as well as high volume surgeons eager to improve their skills.

While chopping techniques are particularly advantageous for complicated cataracts, they must be integrated with other devices and strategies. Phaco Chop, the best-selling cataract surgery book, has been revised and updated into a Second Edition to reflect the many advances over the past few years. More than half of the 30 total chapters are new. These detail strategies for complicated cases and introduce femtosecond laser nuclear fragmentation techniques. 
Dr. David F. Chang is widely acknowledged as one of the best cataract surgical teachers. His video instruction courses for phaco chop and complicated cataracts have consistently ranked among the best attended and top rated at the American Academy of Ophthalmology and American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons meetings for over a decade. 
The Four Main Sections inside the Second Edition:
· Phaco Chop Techniques
· Phacodynamics of Chopping
· Femtosecond Laser Nuclear Pre-Chopping
· Complicated Cases and Complications – Strategies and Management 
Section One is a detailed guide for learning phaco chop. The faculty from Dr. Chang’s popular phaco chop course outlines their pearls based upon extensive experience teaching residents and transitioning surgeons. 
Section Two provides the general principles of instrumentation and configuring machine parameters. Separate chapters specifically address optimizing the Infiniti, Signature, and Stellaris platforms for chopping. 
Section Three introduces femtosecond laser nuclear pre chopping with separate chapters on the LenSx, LensAR, and Optimedica platforms. 
Section Four covers small pupils and IFIS, rock hard and white mature cataracts, weak zonules, and extremely long and short eyes with an emphasis on managing posterior capsule rupture, advanced IOL fixation strategies, and avoiding and managing capsulorrhexis complications. 
Bonus Video Material!
Phaco Chop and Advanced Phaco Techniques, Second Edition includes instructional video that complements and supplements the content of the book. 
With your book purchase, you will receive a DVD that contains 26 surgical videos in high definition 3D format. With the enclosed 3D glasses—learning intraocular surgical techniques is taken to a new level. 
Additionally, you will receive access to a website that includes additional companion surgical videos narrated by Dr. Chang in 2D format—watch, listen, view repeatedly, and learn the techniques!
The narrated videos produced by Dr. Chang illustrate advanced surgical techniques and technologies. Together with over 400 high-resolution operative photographs, this paired format overcomes the limitations of learning new and advanced surgical techniques from written text alone. 
With its comprehensive and integrated emphasis on advanced surgical techniques, optimizing phaco technology, and complication management, Phaco Chop and Advanced Phaco Techniques: Strategies for Complicated Cataracts, Second Edition will appeal to residents and transitioning surgeons as well as high volume surgeons interested in honing their most advanced phaco skills.

Abnormal or deficient capsular anatomy creates numerous surgical challenges and predisposes eyes to IOL complications. Literally dozens of different approaches have been devised to implant IOLs in the face of compromised capsular support. However, a comprehensive compendium of the most important surgical strategies has not existed, until now. Advanced IOL Fixation Techniques:Strategies for Compromised or Missing Capsular Support provides this much-needed resource with more than 70 different chapters that cover the wide array of surgical approaches. Among the contributors are many of the original innovators of the most important technologies and methodologies. In addition to teaching a specific surgical technique, these authors cover its history, rationale, and clinical results. Editor Dr. David F. Chang is well known and acclaimed for 2 best-selling cataract textbooks—Mastering Refractive IOLs and Phaco Chop and Advanced Phaco Techniques. Along with associate editors Drs. Bryan S. Lee and Amar Agarwal, Dr. Chang has now tackled this new major subject area—how to best fixate IOLs when capsular support is compromised or absent. 
<ul>
<li>
Part One covers capsular fixation with either zonulopathy or following posterior capsule rupture. Topics include using conventional and modified capsular tension rings, capsular tension segments or capsular anchors, standard and reverse optic capture with anterior capsulorrhexis, sulcus fixation, posterior capsulorrhexis, and capsular membrane suture fixation. </li>
<li>
Part Two covers noncapsular fixation. Topics include anterior chamber IOLs, iris claw IOLs, iris and transscleral suture fixation of posterior chamber IOLs, and intrascleral haptic fixation using the Yamane double-needle or glued IOL methods.</li>
<li>
Part Three covers miscellaneous topics such as anterior vitrectomy, IOL power calculation for noncapsular IOLs, and sliding slip knots and suture pupilloplasty.</li>
</ul>
 To facilitate skills transfer, most chapters present detailed, step-by-step descriptions of the different techniques. The maneuvers are illustrated by over 1,100 diagrams and high-resolution surgical images. Finally, nearly every chapter is accompanied by narrated instructional videos. Combining over 150 videos, schematic diagrams, surgical images, and detailed written descriptions, Advanced IOL Fixation Techniques provides the most effective way to learn advanced surgical techniques. With its comprehensive and practical approach to covering the gamut of strategies and devices, Advanced IOL Fixation Techniques:Strategies for Compromised or Missing Capsular Support will be an indispensable resource for cataract surgeons at all levels of experience.
