    AbstractLaparoscopic surgery is often prolonged and requires positional changes to facilitate surgical access. Previous studies reported intraocular pressure (IOP) changes in one fixed position. This study investigated the effect of desflurane and propofol anesthesia on IOP during repeated positional changes. A total of 46 patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery were randomized into desflurane or propofol groups. IOP was measured using a handheld tonometer at seven time points: before induction (baseline), after endotracheal intubation, after pneumoperitoneum, after the first Trendelenburg and right tilt position, after reverse Trendelenburg and right tilt position, after the second Trendelenburg and right tilt position and before endotracheal extubation. Trendelenburg positioning raised IOP in both groups. In the desflurane group, IOP at the first Trendelenburg position was 6.27 and 8.48 mmHg higher than baseline IOP in left and right eye, respectively; IOP at the second Trendelenburg position was 7 and 9.44 mmHg higher than baseline in left and right eye, respectively. In the propofol group, IOP at the first Trendelenburg position was 2.04 and 4.04 mmHg higher than baseline in left and right eyes, respectively. It was 3.04 and 4.87 mmHg higher than baseline in left and right eye, respectively, at the second Trendelenburg position. In the desflurane group, 56.52% patients exhibited high IOP (≥ 25 mmHg) compared with 13.04% in the propofol group at the second Trendelenburg position in the right eyes (P = 0.005). There was a positive correlation between IOP and peak inspiratory pressure (P < 0.001). Propofol anesthesia mitigated wide variations in IOP caused by repetitive positional changes during laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
