This video highlights a common situation.
Often, we are surprised to find out intra operatively that the nucleus is too soft to Chop.
In this situation, the following strategies are to be followed.

1. Convert to Stop and Chop, separate 2 heminuclei. Remove each one of them out in toto of the bag and emulsify.
2. If the nucleus cannot be divided in to 2 halves, then debunk the nucleus so that the nucleus size shrinks and then hold one edge of the nucleus at the periphery and flip it in to the anterior chamber and emulsify.
