Head-Down Position and Eye Pressure in Prostate Surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at how the steep head-down position (Trendelenburg) and gas inflation during robot-assisted prostate surgery affect the sheath around the optic nerve. It aims to understand eye pressure changes to improve safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You are in generally good to moderate health (ASA class I, II, or III)
- You are scheduled for a robot-assisted or open radical prostatectomy under general anesthesia
