The optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurement using ultrasound has emerged as a simple, noninvasive, and reliable surrogate for invasive ICP measurement.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>This prospective study enrolled 121 patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia. ONSD was measured using ultrasonography at different time points during surgery. All patients were assessed Postoperative headache, nausea and vomiting, blurred vision, and cognitive dysfunction within 1 day of recovery.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>After establishing the pneumoperitoneum in the Trendelenburg position, ONSD increased over time and decreased significantly upon release of the pneumoperitoneum and return to the supine position (p < 0 .05). However, ONSD did not return to baseline levels 1 h after the release of the pneumoperitoneum and return to the supine position (4.63 mm vs. 4.52 mm, p < 0.05). Different Trendelenburg angles during the surgeries revealed a significant upward trend in ONSD with increasing tilt angles (p < 0.05).
