Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)Postoperative 4th, 12th and 24th hours11-point numerical rating scale for pain (0='no pain' and 10='worst pain possible pain') were explained.
The quality of postoperative functional recovery (QoR-15) scorePreoperative 1st hour and Postoperative 24th hourThe patient-reported Turkish QoR-15 score includes 15 questions that evaluate the patient's postoperative recovery. The QoR-15 score is grouped under two groups, A and B. A high QoR-15 score, a score between 0 (poor) and 10 (excellent) for each item, and a total score of 150 indicate better quality of recovery.
Patient satisfaction scorePostoperative 24th hourPatients were asked about their satisfaction levels with a number between 0-10.
