Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Patient satisfaction with analgesia measured using APS-POQ-R—Revised American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire for Quality Improvement of Pain Management in Hospitalized Adults assessed before discharge from the hospital	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. Investigate the speed of patient recovery (length of hospital stay), measured in days. Will be assessed using patient medical charts (hospital electronic database) 2. Note potential adverse effects or complications using patient medical charts (hospital electronic database) before hospital discharge 3. Assess the quality of life six weeks after surgery and potentially link the results to the type of analgesia received by the patients, with a special focus on complications and the development of chronic pain. Will be assessed using the standardized questionnaire Euro-Qol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D), obtained via telephone communication with the principal investigator or collaborators six weeks after the surgical procedure	—
