We describe a modification of the original standard radial aspiration technique. The modified technique--hurricane 1-step continuous circular cortical aspiration--has the potential to improve this part of phacoemulsification surgery with benefits in surgical time and possible decreases in fluid, corneal edema, and traction on the zonular fibers through better distribution of tractional forces. The first results were encouraging and without complications.
