Brief Summary   Surgery has shifted from open procedures to minimally invasive techniques, with robotic surgery leading the charge with its precision , improved visualization and faster recovery times.
The human eye relies on a delicate balance of pressure for proper function. High intraocular pressure increases the risk of glaucoma and change in optic nerve sheath diameter by USG can indicate pressure problems.
Understanding how minimally invasive surgery affects intraocular pressure and optic nerve sheath diameter is crucial for patient safety, as some techniques like Trendelenburg position, co2 insufflation might theoretically influence both.
Robot assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy is a prime example, offering advantages but raising concern about its impact on intraocular pressure and optic nerve sheath diameter.
The Trendelenburg position used during Robotic surgery might elevate IOP and co2 insufflation could potentially affect blood flow impacting IOP.
This study is planned to observe the impact of ROBOT assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy on IOP and optic nerve sheath diameter by USG to understand its effects on the eye.
