[Results of conventional detachment surgery. I. Study planning, patients and vision results].

A consecutive series of patients with retinal detachment were examined. All patients were treated primarily with buckling procedure. Patients with redetachment, bilateral detachment, vitrectomy or history of strabismus or amblyopia were excluded. Of these 155 patients, 117 could be examined. 97% of patients without macula detachment are able to keep or improve their visual acuity. 85% of those patients with macula detachment showed an improvement of visual acuity. The most important prognostic factor for the visual outcome is the duration of macula detachment. In cases of more than four days duration a visual acuity of 20/40 or more could not be expected.

[Results of conventional retinal detachment surgery. II. Changes in refraction].

In a comparative study we examined the refractive changes in 117 patients following conventional buckling retinal detachment surgery. Of these, 54 had a segmental scleral buckle, 18, an encircling buckle, and 45, a combination of both methods. Comprising about 2D, the changes in spherical equivalent were most marked in the patients who had combined operations. A correlation exists between buckle height and extent of refractive change (p = 0.0297).

[Results of conventional retinal detachment surgery. III. Orthoptic results].

In a comparative study we examined orthoptic side effects in 117 patients following conventional retinal detachment surgery. Of these, 54 had had a segmental scleral buckle, 18 a simple encircling band and 45 encircling band combined with a radial buckle. Persistent diplopia was found in 6% of cases following segmental buckles, in 11% following simple encircling procedures and in 20% following combined operations with encircling bands and segmental buckles. The incidence of diplopia was more than 30% in cases with high encircling buckles.

The development and functioning of the sense of shame.

An extensive literature on shame has not yet sufficiently addressed the nature and functioning of this affect from the psychoanalytic, developmental point of view. This paper tries to lay the ground for such a task.
