Could surgery gas pressure harm your eyes? new study investigates

NCT ID NCT07155109

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how different gas pressures used during laparoscopic surgery for gynecologic cancers affect the optic nerve sheath diameter, which is a marker of pressure inside the skull. Researchers will measure this in 100 women aged 18-65 using ultrasound. The goal is to see if lower gas pressure leads to less pressure on the brain and eyes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help surgeons choose safer pressure settings to reduce the risk of increased brain pressure during laparoscopic surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study, not a treatment trial. It measures a surrogate marker (optic nerve diameter) rather than direct patient outcomes, so clinical benefits are uncertain.
