A 27-Gauge Light Pipe-Assisted Modified Kebab Technique for Safe Retrieval of a Dropped Lens Nucleus: A Case Report

This modified kebab technique using a 27-gauge illuminated light pipe allows nucleus fixation and retrieval in selected cases, without the routine use of PFCL or diathermy. This simple technique may serve as a practical salvage option, particularly when dedicated instruments are unavailable.
