Optic nerve sheath diameter remains constant during robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

Optic nerve sheath diameter remains constant during robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

During robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP), a CO2 pneumoperitoneum (CO2PP) is applied and the patient is placed in a head-down position.
