Design outcomes
Primary

|---|---|
| postoperative pain intensity on the day of surgery and on three subsequent days by means of NRS recording twice a day | — |

| In addition, the position of the pain catheters is recorded by means of sonographic control immediately after the operation and once a day on the first three postoperative days. Further parameters such as additional consumption of painkillers, amount of local anaesthetics administered, assessment of the puncture site and potential side effects are documented once a day.
