title: [Factors influencing the urgency of repair of retinal detachment (author's transl)].
abstract: An earlier publication (1974) described the urgency for surgical repair of some retinal detachments. The presurgical state of the macula provides a basis for categorizing detachments into 5 prognostic groups. Due to different degrees of macular detachment a statistical significance was present in the postsurgical visual acuity. The following clinical findings define the urgency for repair of a retinal detachment: 1. the macula attached but threatened by an approaching bullous, 2. the macula partially detached, 3. the macula detached for 1 day but less than 1 week, and 4. the macula detached in an old or highly myopic patient.
