Background: Aeroperitoneum increases intra-occular pressure (IOP). We measured IOP during robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostectomy (RALP) that requires steeper Trenderenburg position.
Methods: Fourteen patients with no ocular diseases were candidates. We measured their IOP during robotic operation from beginning to end.
Results: Our date shows that IOP continues to increase over the time of steep Trenderenburg position.
Conclusions: Long time RALP might be risky for IOP.
