[Pre- and postoperative management of patients with retinal detachment].

Our procedure in both these periods is discussed in reference to the immobilization of the patient in bed, immobilization of the eyes, the period of the treatment depending on the extent of the detachment, the localization of the tears and application of surgical methods. It enabled us to shorten the period of treatment of the non-complicated cases from 62 days in 1962 and 49 days in 1968 to 12 (in cases of single operation) and to 26 days (in cases of multiple operations) in the years 1986-87 including numerous laboratory examinations.
