Intra Ocular Pressure During Robotic Prostatectomy

NCT00369057 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 15

Last updated 2012-03-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Our goal is to study the relationship between intraocular pressure during robotic prostatectomy surgery and visual deficiencies/vision loss after surgery. We believe the risk of vision loss from this surgery to be due to positioning during the operation, as well as abdominal carbon dioxide insufflation. As robotic procedures are gaining in popularity, we should determine whether they are subjecting this patient population, and perhaps more likely the patient with a preoperative diagnosis of glaucoma, to an increased likelihood of postoperative visual disturbance.If our hypothesis that intraocular pressure is increased in these patients is confirmed, future studies will assess therapeutic modalities to maintain the IOP near baseline.
