| Pain. Timepoint: 1 and 3 weeks after surgery. Method of measurement: Postoperative pain is assessed using a 10-point visual analog scale (VAS), from 0 for "no pain" to 10 for "worst possible pain". The patients will be questioned for the pain at standard intervals, i.e., 1st, 3rd postoperative day, 1st and 3rd postoperative week. Four categories of scoring will be used:0 = No pain – There will be no need for the patient to take analgesics1–3 = Mild pain – When patients either tolerated or taken one analgesic tablet4–7 = Moderate pain – When the patient felt definite pain and needed more than one tablet8–10 = Severe pain – When the patient felt severe pain and either reported back or took stronger analgesics.;Wound Healing. Timepoint: 1 and 3 weeks after surgery. Method of measurement: Early Wound Healing Assessment with EHSEHS assessment was composed of the parameters clinical signs of re-epithelization (CSR), haemostasis (CSH) and inflammation (CSI) (31).CSR = 0 points: visible distance between incision margins, 3 points: contact between incision margins, 6 points: merged incision margins;CSH = 0 points: bleeding at the incision margins, 1 point: presence of fibrin on the incision margins, 2 points: absence of fibrin on the incision margins;CSI = 0 points: redness involving >50% of the incision length and/or pronounced swelling, 1 point: redness involving <50% of the incision length, 2 points: absence of redness along the incision length. | — |
