title: [Retinal detachment].
abstract: Over the last few years there has been a further increase in the surgical treatment of the retinal detachment. Reapplication of the retina is now very often achieved immediately. Repeated intervention has become less common and operative methods less aggressive. This communication aims to give an idea of present concepts in the treatment of retinal detachment and to explain some surgical attitudes. It also recalls the importance of early diagnosis, as well as the examination methods and the prophylactic measures generally used. Some new ideas on the etiology of retinal detachment are also discussed.
