According to what has been found, MSICS is an excellent surgical technique and according to current evidence it seems to be the choice over phacoemulsification and/or the classic extracapsular technique in hyper mature cataracts, especially in the field of humanitarian campaigns, due to its lower rate of complications and the improvement in visual acuity obtained. According to the studies found, it would be possible for the experienced ophthalmologic surgeon to implement this technique since the learning curve is short. In addition, in the scenario of humanitarian campaigns, the cost per surgery and the surgical time are reduced. It can be concluded that MSICS should be part of the surgical repertoire of every cataract surgeon, especially in those who perform surgeries in humanitarian campaigns, since it provides shorter surgical time, lower cost and better results in complex cases.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":93886,"journal":{"name":"Archivos de la Sociedad Espanola de Oftalmologia","volume":"100 2","pages":"Pages 91-97"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142901101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
