Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for pain within 7 Days postoperatively (NRS-AUC0-168h);

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for pain during wound dressing changes within 7 days postoperatively;Pain numerical rating scale (NRS) area under the curve (AUC) from 4 to 7 days after surgery (NRS-AUC96h-168h);Number of breakthrough pain episodes and corresponding Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores during episodes;Postoperative 7-day cumulative consumption of all analgesic drugs (calculated as morphine equivalents);Postoperative 7-day cumulative consumption of rescue analgesic drugs (calculated as morphine equivalents);Safety (including incidence of postoperative adverse events and serious adverse events): Adverse events and serious adverse events occurring within 14 days after medication were assessed;Hemodynamic indicators: heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure;SF-12 scores at preoperative;Postoperative 8-week wound healing outcomes: Healing rate, healing time, edema score, granulation tissue color score, presence of infection, presence of bleeding, and other relevant parameters.;Wexner Incontinence Scores;Analgesia satisfaction: Postoperative analgesic satisfaction was assessed using ;
