title: [Evaluation of the surgical treatment of retinal detachment in children. Personal data].
abstract: Twenty nine children aged 8-18 years with retinal detachment were treated in the period 1980-1987. The cause of detachment was in 27 cases injury and in 2 cases rupture of a congenital retinal cyst. In the majority of cases the detachment was connected with a dialysis at the ora serrata and comprised two quadrants of the fundus' periphery. The operation in 25 children consisted on implantation of a silicone sponge. A hard silicone implant situated intrasclerally with a band round the globe was used in 3 persons. A cerclage of the eye ball with a silicone sponge was performed only in one child. In 25 children the retina reattached after operation.
