Positional strategies to prevent increased IOP in STP.

Author—Year Type of Strategy Explanation
Ghomi et al. [35]—2012 TP reduction Using 16° TP for RAGS
Raz et al. [28]—2015 Modified Z Trendelenburg position Patients’ head and shoulder positioned at the same level in RALP
Molloy et al. [58]—2016 LSI Periodic rest periods in supine position for urological, colorectal and gynaecological laparoscopic procedures
