Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Operative time (minutes) Timepoint: The primary outcome will be operative time (in minutes), defined as the duration from the first incision to completion of the last skin suture, and it will be assessed during the surgical procedure for each enrolled participant.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Intraoperative/postoperative bleeding requiring intervention Surgical site infection Postoperative edema (graded via blinded assessment) Time to complete epithelialization (healing) Energy-related complications (ischemia, necrosis) Need for reoperation Timepoint: Intraoperative/postoperative bleeding requiring intervention Surgical site infection within 14 days of surgery Postoperative edema (graded via blinded assessment) within 14 days of surgery Time to complete epithelialization (healing) 15 days to 6 weeks Energy-related complications (ischemia, necrosis) within 14 days Need for reoperation within 3 months—
