During laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH), the elevation of intra-abdominal and intra-thoracic pressures due to pneumoperitoneum (PP) results in an increase in intracranial pressure (ICP).

This trial aimed to assess the effect of intravenous (IV) lidocaine infusion on optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), a widely accepted surrogate measure for ICP, during PP and TP.
