Summary
Steep Trendelenburg positioning and insufflation of the abdominal cavity have shown to
increase intra ocular pressure. Different anesthetic techniques can alter intra ocular
pressure and a small pilot study showed decrease in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) in robotic
case in steep Trendelenburg with IV anesthetics (TIVA).
We want to quantify the degree of change in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) in female patients
undergoing robotic procedures for cancer. We want to detect the difference in increase of
pressure with total IV anesthesia versus conventional balanced anesthesia
