Talk:Prechop

Merge into Phacoemulsification
This technique is an optional step in cataract surgery, before phacoemulsification. There is no other application. Breaking up the lens for removal of smaller segments through the incision in manual small incision cataract surgery may be similar in effect, but is not called prechop. There is a limited amount of content that is likely to be considered encyclopedic which can be added, and which may as well be included directly in the phacoemulsification article, so I propose to merge pre-chop into phacoemulsification as a subsection of the section on technique, where the reader can refer to it where it is most relevant. A redirect to that section would be retained. If there is no good reason presented to keep this article seprate I will do the merge.&middot; &middot; &middot; Peter Southwood (talk): 13:37, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

I am going to merge this as explained above. If anyone objects and is willing and able to create an adequately referenced stand-alone article of at least "Start" class, go ahead. Cheers, &middot; &middot; &middot; Peter Southwood (talk): 09:27, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
