ABSTRACT
Fluorescence angiography was performed in 11 patients, suffering from retinal detachment, and in 17 patients after various successful retinal surgery. The preoperative findings showed an obscured background fluorescence by the subretinal fluid in the detachment area, and various circulatory disturbances in the vicinity of the retinal equatorial degenerations, holes and tears. The absent fluorescein extravasation into the subretinal fluid gives evidence against the participation of the choroid in the formation of the subretinal fluid. The postoperative findings demonstrated that from various operations episcleral buckling with kryopexy is accompanied by the lowest fluorescein extravasation and from the fluoroangiographic point of view, it appears as the less injuring operation.
