Effects Of Anaesthesia on Intraocular Pressure in Robotic Prostate Surgery
60 participantsStarted 2015-07-23
Plain-language summary
Robot-assisted surgery is now commonly used to treat prostate cancer. This type of surgery, called robot-assisted prostatectomy, helps doctors operate more precisely and allows patients to heal faster. But there are some special things to be careful about during these surgeries.
During the operation, the patient is placed in a steep head-down position for a long time. Staying in this position for a long period can cause the pressure inside the eyes-called intraocular pressure (IOP)-to go up. High eye pressure can be risky, especially for people who already have eye problems.
This study looked at different types of anesthesia used during robotic prostate surgery to see how they affect eye pressure. The goal was to find out which type of anesthesia causes less of an increase in eye pressure.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
