Abstract:Background
Ultrasonographic measurement of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) is helpful in the assessment of intracranial pressure. The aim of this study was to determine whether the Trendelenburg position during laparoscopic urological surgery changed the ONSD and whether changes correlated with postoperative complications.
Methods
In this prospective study, we measured ONSD before patients were placed in the Trendelenburg position. Then the Trendelenburg position was established by ti… Show more
