    The study identified a Trendelenburg angle threshold of 20.5° linked to increased intraocular pressure during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

  • 2

    Increased intraocular pressure was significantly associated with Trendelenburg angles of 20.5° or greater (P = 0.001).

  • 3

    Patients with diabetes were found to have a higher risk of intraocular pressure elevation during the procedure (P = 0.028).

  • 4

    A predictive model for elevated intraocular pressure achieved an AUC of 0.721, indicating its effectiveness in risk assessment.

  • 5

    The findings emphasize the importance of optimizing patient positioning to reduce ocular complications in high-risk individuals.
