About this trial

This observational study aims to evaluate the effect of menstrual cycle phase on optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) in women undergoing elective laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. Patients will be grouped according to menstrual cycle phase as follicular or luteal. ONSD measurements will be performed perioperatively, and postoperative nausea and vomiting as well as postoperative cognitive function will also be assessed. The study is designed to investigate whether hormonal variations during the menstrual cycle are associated with differences in intracranial pressure reflected by ONSD measurements and postoperative outcomes

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Female patients aged 18 to 45 years

Scheduled for elective laparoscopic gynecologic surgery

Menstrual cycle in the follicular phase or luteal phase

American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-II

Disqualifiers

Irregular menstrual cycle (e.g., polycystic ovary syndrome, early menopause, hypothalamic amenorrhea)

Pregnancy or breastfeeding

Neurological disease associated with intracranial pressure changes

Glaucoma or another eye disease associated with high intraocular pressure

Trial population

Women aged 18 to 45 years with ASA physical status I-II who are scheduled for elective laparoscopic gynecologic surgery at Konya City Hospital. Participants will be observed according to menstrual cycle phase (follicular or luteal phase).

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter

The primary outcome is the comparison of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) between women in the follicular phase and those in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle undergoing elective laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. ONSD will be measured ultrasonographically in the supine position. For each eye, three horizontal and three vertical measurements will be obtained and averaged.

Time frame
Before induction of anesthesia, during surgery, and at the end of surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting

Postoperative nausea and vomiting will be assessed using the Verbal Descriptive Scale (VDS) and compared between the follicular-phase and luteal-phase groups. The VDS categories are none, mild, moderate, vomiting once, and severe vomiting.

Time frame
Within 24 hours after surgery
2

Postoperative Cognitive Function

Postoperative cognitive function will be assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and compared between the follicular-phase and luteal-phase groups.

Time frame
Preoperative period and 24 hours after surgery
