NCT ID NCT07262125
First seen Dec 08, 2025 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study looks at how the carbon dioxide gas used to inflate the belly during laparoscopic kidney surgery affects pressure inside the skull, measured by the thickness of the optic nerve sheath. Researchers will measure the optic nerve sheath diameter in 100 patients at different points during surgery using ultrasound. The goal is to understand if the gas pressure raises brain pressure, which could help make surgery safer.
