Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary outcome - postoperative pain assessment After surgery, all patients will receive standardized postoperative care information and will be advised to take analgesics only when they deem it necessary. To assess postoperative pain, a visual analog scale (VAS) will be used. The EVA tool is a 10 cm ruler with 0 (no pain) at one end and 10 (severe pain) at the other, which will be given to patients after surgery. Patients will be asked to assess the worst level of pain they experienced within one week of surgery. In addition, patients will be instructed to record the duration of analgesic use in days.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary Outcome - Surgical Wound Healing On the day of suture removal, the surgical wound will be evaluated and classified as closed wound (first intention healing), open wound (second intention healing) or disorganized clot. All surgical complications will be recorded in the patient's record.
