Preoperative SS-AS-OCT imaging was performed to assess the PC, which was then classified as continuous (Group 1), abrupt (Group 2), or dehiscent PC (Group 3). PPC with dehiscent PC was excluded. In Group 1, phacoemulsification was performed with routine hydrodissection and nuclear rotation. In Group 2, hydrodelineation was performed, and nucleus rotation was avoided. Chamber stability was maintained, and PC polishing was avoided in both groups. The outcome measure was to assess the incidence of posterior capsular rupture (PCR) in Groups 1 and 2.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The cohort included 70 eyes (57 patients), categorized as Group 1 PPC [54 eyes (77.1%)] and Group 2 PPC [16 eyes (22.9%)] based on preoperative SS-AS-OCT imaging.
