Vision loss after surgery is rare, especially after laparoscopic procedures. This case report details visual deficits following laparoscopic donor nephrectomy, highlighting posterior ischemic optic neuropathy as a potential cause.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Postoperative visual loss is an uncommon surgical complication.
  • Laparoscopic procedures are generally associated with low risks of visual impairment.

Observation:

  • A patient experienced visual deficits after a laparoscopic donor nephrectomy.
  • The visual impairment was diagnosed as posterior ischemic optic neuropathy.

Findings:

  • This is the first reported case of vision loss after a laparoscopic donor nephrectomy.
  • Posterior ischemic optic neuropathy can occur following laparoscopic surgery.

Implications:

  • Awareness of this rare complication is crucial for surgeons.
