TY - JOUR AU - RUTHERFORD, C. W. AB - Abstract The observations offered here are meant to be an orderly arrangement of topic material gleaned from literature that has appeared in English, originally or by abstracts, during the last twelve months. DETACHMENT OF THE RETINA Knapp1 stated that the remarkable results in retinal detachment obtained by Gonin would lead to a renewed interest and study of the whole subject. Of the titles considered for this report, 42 per cent pertained to some phase of detachment of the retina. Gonin's operation is not readily comprehensible without a methodical presentation of the subject for which it was devised. Detachment of the retina is considered to be spontaneous or traumatic in origin. Spontaneous cases occur without known injury. Traumatic cases arise from mechanical factors such as progressive myopia,2 perforating wounds or contusions of the globe, blows on the head, concussion of the body and physical strain.3 When References 1.
