Vacuum rhexis – A novel capsulorhexis technique for white cataracts [PDF]
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2022 Capsulorhexis in white intumescent cataract is often associated with extension leading to radial tears or biradial extension “Argentinian flag sign” and associated complications. We describe a novel technique of managing this situation.

Sewing needle microcapsulotomy to avert Argentinian flag sign
Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2021 The Argentinian flag sign is a known complication in intumescent white cataracts, which arises instantly after an initial prick with a sharp hypodermic needle on a stretched out anterior capsule. Increased intralenticular pressure is believed to be responsible for propagation of the initial prick into a radial capsular tear.

Assessing the validity of flap motility sign in predicting the extent of anterior capsular tears in phacoemulsification [PDF]
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2023 Capsulorhexis is an integral step of cataract surgery, and continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis is crucial during phacoemulsification to prevent intraoperative complications.

Micro-rhex-pression technique: A novel approach for safe and predictable rhexis in intumescent cataracts [PDF]
Indian Journal of OphthalmologyIntumescent cataracts complicate cataract surgery due to high intra-lenticular pressure, often causing radial tears, such as the Argentinian flag sign. The micro-Rhex-pression technique offers a precise solution for achieving safe continuous curvilinear ...

“Inverted flap rhexis” – Salvation of intumescence [PDF]
Indian Journal of OphthalmologyIntumescent cataract can be a challenge even for an experienced surgeon, particularly for creating a continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) because of increased endolenticular pressure.
