title: [Phako-small port].
abstract: The smallport system is a new technology that brings to surgeons who begin in phacoemulsification more advantages and control in surgery, more security and less time required for learning. The authors show the differences (advantages and disadvantages) between standard systems and the endocapsular "smallport". In nuclei up to grade 3 hardness we have good results with low phaco power (5-10%) and higher linear aspiration (200 mmHg) causing minimal loss of endothelial cells and quick visual rehabilitation.
