Summary

This study targets patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery. The investigators would like to compare two factors that influence intracranial pressure through optic nerve sheath diameter measurement. First factor is intraperitoneal pressure. Second factor is epidural pressure. The investigators divided the patients into three groups. Group A is patients with laparoscopic gastric surgery who received epidural injection through an thoracic epidural catheter. Group B is patients with laparoscopic gastric surgery who don't received epidural injection through an thoracic epidural catheter. Group C is patients with open gastric surgery.

Conditions

• Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter
• Pneumoperitoneum
• Epidural

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Epidural injection through thoracic epidural catheter	The investigators inject drugs through a catheter inserted into the thoracic epidural space to control pain after surgery in patients undergoing gastric surgery by laparoscopy.
PROCEDURE	Without epidural injection	The investigators don't epidural injection to find out the effect of only inter-abdominal pressure on intracranial pressure.
