Aim: During laparoscopic surgery (LC), intracranial pressure increases due to factors such as pneumoperitoneum (PP) and Trendelenburg position (TP). Measurement of the optic nerve sheath diameter is an important indicator of intracranial pressure. In this study, we compared the optic nerve diameter measurement (ONSD) during laparoscopic surgery in obese and normal weight individuals.Material and Methos: The search included 99 ills who underwent laparoscopic surgery at Malatya Training and Research Hospital.
Optic nerve sheath age measurements were performed preoperatively, post-intubation, post-pneumoperitoneum, and post-extubation in obese (n: 50) and control group (n: 49) patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery. Additionally, operation information and demographic data were recorded.Result: We included 99 patients in the study.
The data analysis we obtained in this study showed that although ONSD values were similar between the groups at T0 and T1 (p>0.05), they were wider in obese individuals at T2 and T3 (respectively p
