An observational, descriptive and prospective study of 23 patients with primary detached retina, undergoing surgery in "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" General Hospital was carried out from January to December, 2012, in order to describe the anatomical and functional results of the conventional surgery, for which variables of interest for the investigation were used. Among the main findings, the male sex (73.9%), the partial detachment with superior temporary lacerations (73.9%), the high myopia as personal pathological history (39.1%), the right eye as the most affected (60.9%), the horseshoe rupture(30.4%), fundamentally in the superior quadrants, and the combined techniques (91.3%), to mention some, prevailed. With the use of these techniques the new implementation was achieved in most of the cases. The anatomical success achieved was not always synonym of functional success, although the first thing is was necessary for the second one
