title: [Cataract extraction with rotated-chipping phacoemulsification in the capsule].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the clinical effects of rotated-chipping phacoemulsification in the capsule.
  
  
  METHODS
  The operation of continuous circular capsulectomy, nuclear hydrodissection, cataract extraction with rotated-chipping phacoemulsification in capsule and intraocular lens implantation was performed on 215 eyes.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Rotated-chipping technique was successfully completed in 215 eyes. In the operation 2 to 4 circles were rotated with the ultrasonic energy 19.3% for 12 seconds on average. The rate of corneal endothelium loss was 7.5%.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The technique of rotated-chipping phacoemulsification in capsule is safe and rapid which can be used for cataracts with nuclei of various degrees in sclerosis.
