Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Excision time

    Time from excision start to excision stop - reported by radiologist

    Baseline

  • Pain assessed by NRS 2 weeks after baseline

    Patient pain level during the experience - reported by patient in a 10-level NRS

    2 weeks after baseline

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Number of patients with bleeding despite 10 minutes compression

    Baseline

  • Radicality assessment fractions

    Baseline

  • Self-reported number of patients who would recommend the procedure to others

    1 week after baseline

  • Self-reported satisfaction with cosmetic result assessed by a categorical scale

    1 week after baseline
