Purpose: Pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic abdominal surgery increases intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), potentially altering intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral oxygenation, with unclear implications for early postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) via ultrasonography and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) based cerebral oximetry offer non-invasive monitoring tools to assess these changes.
