In one case, scanning electron microscopy suggests that the smooth edge of a small, closed, capsular tear is not capable of controlled extension to allow nuclear egress. Therefore, superior radial anterior capsular relaxing incision is recommended when circular capsulorrhexis is used in extracapsular cataract extraction. 2, record 3, English, - expression%20of%20the%20nucleus

Although a discussion of the relative merits of the two procedures is beyond the scope of this report, we favor placement of a superior capsular cut in situations where conversion to extracapsular cataract extraction may be required, such as early resident surgery, transition from extracapsular extraction to phacoemulsification, and cases of extremely large or brunescent nuclei. 3, record 4, English, - extracapsular%20extraction
