Corticocapsular adhesions are a snag in phacoemulsification
Phacosurgeons recognize the value of rotation of the nucleus at various steps of the surgery. It is invaluable for the performance of endocapsular phacoemulsification.

When the nucleus is free from the capsular bag, any maneuver on it transmits minimal or negligible stress to the zonules.
