title: [Surgery in the treatment of retinopathies (author's transl)].
abstract: Conservative measures for the treatment of affections of retina and choroid are being complemented and expanded upon increasingly by the use of xenon or lasercoagulation. Retinopathies are one of the indications for these microsurgical procedures. The etiology varies, whereas the clinical picture is usually similar. Basic criteria for photocoagulation can be established, but these will be modified considerably by the various coagulation techniques of different surgeons. Personal experiences are compared with accounts featuring in the wide range of available literature.
