Effect of steep trendelenburg positioning on cerebral blood volume, intraocular pressure and visual function during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy - Robotic-assisted surgery and cerebral blood volume and visual function

37 were diagnosed with ocular diseases before surgery. IOP significantly increased during surgery. Transient postoperative visual field defect was detected in 24 eyes at 7 days. At 3 months , two eyes continued to show visual field defect, although remaining patients recovered to preoperative conditions.Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy can be safely carried out in patients with ocular diseases, even those with glaucoma, after precautionary consultation with an ophthalmologist.
