Core Tip

Core Tip: This study investigated the correlation between intraoperative intracranial pressure (ICP) changes measured by optic nerve sheath diameter via ultrasound and postoperative neurocognitive function in older patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection for rectal cancer. These findings indicate that increased ICP during surgery is associated with significant postoperative declines in cognitive function, emphasizing the need to monitor and manage ICP to mitigate postoperative neurocognitive disorders.
