[Surgery for retinal detachment in the years 1989-1994].
OBJECTIVE
Evaluation of early and long-term results of retinal detachments operated in the recent years.


METHODS
99 eyes of 98 patients were examined. The conventional methods of retinal detachment surgery have been applied, mostly (above 75%) encirclement with subretinal fluid drainage.


RESULTS
Anatomical reattachment was applied in 81.8% of cases, but after follow-up, meanly 2.5 years this percent was 66.2% in the majority of cases functional results were also good; in 18.5% of the eyes with anatomical reatachment visual acuity did not improve.


CONCLUSIONS
Encirclement of the eyeball with subretinal fluid drainage is the basic and the most useful method of surgical treatment in most cases of retinal detachment.
