The pilot study of alteration of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in Thai patients whom underwent spinal surgery by optical coherence tomography (OCT)

Completed
Conditions
Patients undergo spine surgery in prone position.

Brief Summary

In summary, our findings reveal a decrease in RNFL thickness in the inferior quadrant at the 6-week follow-up after spine surgery. The prone position during surgery may play a significant role in the development of postoperative posterior ischemic optic neuropathy (PION) in patients undergoing spine surgery in this position.
