Background: The aim of this study is to assess the extent of the increased intracranial pressure resulting from lateral decubitus and 45° downward positioning using sonographic optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) in patients undergoing laparoscopic transperitoneal nephrectomy. In addition, we evaluated the effect of the carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum (CO2PP) on ONSD. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four adults were enrolled in this prospective observational study. Longitudinal and transverse ONSDs were measured for each eye by ocular ultrasonography. The values were noted in supine position (T0), 20 minutes after induction of anesthesia (T1), after insufflation of the abdomen in lateral 45° head-down position (T2), at 30-minute intervals during surgery (T3-T4-T5), during lateral 45° head-down position after CO2 exsufflation (T6), before awakening while supine (T7), and at postoperative 24th hour (T8). Hemodynamic and respiratory parameters were investigated at the measurement time points. Results: Average ONSD values for the lower eye was T0 = 4.27 ± 0.4 mm, T1 = 4.56 ± 0.6 mm, T2 = 4.84 ± 0.6 mm, T3 = 4.91 ± 0.4 mm, T4 = 4.99 ± 0.5 mm, T5 = 4.97 ± 0.5 mm T6 = 4.96 ± 0.5 mm, T7 = 4.76 ± 0.4 mm, T8 = 4.36 ± 0.5 mm and for the upper eye was T0 = 4.24 ± 0.4 mm, T1 = 4.39 ± 0.5 mm, T2 = 4.54 ± 0.5 mm, T3 = 4.60 ± 0.4 mm, T4 = 4.66 ± 0.4 mm, T5 = 4.72 ± 0.7 mm, T6 = 4.68 ± 0.4 mm, T7 = 4.52 ± 0.4 mm, T8 = 4.30 ± 0.4 mm (P < .001). Conclusion: In our study, we observed a significant increase in ONSD within minutes after the patient was placed in a head-down position. We also observed that the difference increased more with CO2PP and was proportional to the length of the surgery. We found that it regressed to initial levels at the postoperative 24th hour.
