Menstrual cycle effects during minimally invasive gynecology surgery
Part of Eyes & vision, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study examines how the menstrual cycle may affect pressure in the optic nerve (the nerve connected to your eye) during laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. Researchers want to understand if the timing of surgery within your cycle matters for eye and brain safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and between 18 and 45 years old
- You have a regular menstrual cycle (not irregular or skipped periods)
- You are scheduled for elective laparoscopic gynecologic surgery (a minimally invasive procedure using a small camera)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You are in generally good health with no serious heart or brain conditions
- You do not have glaucoma, high eye pressure, or a history of brain surgery

This study looks at whether the phase of your menstrual cycle influences how much anesthesia medicine you need and how likely you are to feel sick after gallbladder surgery. If you join, it could help doctors personalize care for women having this procedure.
This study looks at how the carbon dioxide gas used during keyhole kidney cancer surgery affects the pressure behind your eye. The goal is to see if changes in gas pressure influence the nerve sheath that surrounds the optic nerve.
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.
This study checks if a head-down position (called Trendelenburg) during laparoscopic hysterectomy affects a brain wave monitor (Patient State Index) that measures how deep your anesthesia is.
This trial compares using lower gas pressure during minimally invasive gynecologic surgery to the standard pressure. The goal is to see if lower pressure reduces pain and speeds recovery after surgery.
This study compares three ways to give anesthesia during laparoscopic hysterectomy: one type of gas (sevoflurane) with or without a lidocaine IV drip, versus a different IV anesthesia (propofol). The goal is to see which approach best protects pressure inside your head and oxygen levels in your brain during surgery.
