Abstract
Systemic examination is carried out by an internist and the anesthesiologist. The main objectives of systemic examination are threefold: (1) to recognize contraindications to general anesthesia, or occasionally to local anesthesia, (2) to evaluate associated systemic diseases that may require specific management before and after the operation for retinal detachment management, and (3) to avoid systemic complications postoperatively.
