AB  - BACKGROUND: In most cases, hydration is performed by water injection into the 
      stromal tissue with a needle. The technique is simple, however it is sometimes 
      troublesome. PURPOSE: We describe a simple technique for hydrating the corneal 
      stroma in cataract surgery using an irrigation port. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The 
      technique began by pushing the irrigation port against the corneal stroma for a 
      few seconds during phacoemulsification, which generated edema in the corneal 
      incision that subsequently prevented leakage. This procedure is called the 
      hydration using irrigation port (HYUIP) technique. A total of 60 eyes were 
      randomized and placed in two groups, 30 eyes underwent surgeries using the HYUIP 
      technique (HYUIP group) and 30 eyes underwent surgeries without the HYUIP 
      technique (control). The three points evaluated during each surgery included 1) 
      the occurrence of anterior chamber collapse during the pulling out of the I/A tip 
      after inserting the intraocular lens, 2) the need for conventional hydration, and 
      3) watertight completion at the end stage of surgery. RESULTS: The anterior 
      chamber collapse and the need for conventional hydration were significantly 
      smaller in the HYUIP group compared to the control group. Regarding the 
      self-sealing completion, no significant difference was observed between the two 
      groups. CONCLUSION: The HYUIP technique is an effective method for creating 
      self-sealing wound. In addition, this technique helps to prevent anterior chamber 
      collapse.
