Gas pressure in kidney surgery may squeeze the brain, new study warns
NCT ID NCT07262125
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 100 people having laparoscopic kidney surgery to see if the carbon dioxide gas used to inflate the belly increases pressure inside the skull. Doctors will measure the optic nerve sheath diameter using ultrasound, a non-invasive way to check brain pressure. The goal is to understand how surgical gas pressure affects the brain, helping make surgery safer.
