Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Post-operative pain

    The pain will be recorded using the modified visual analogue scale (VAS). • 0, "no pain" * 1-3, "mild pain" * 4-6, "moderate pain" * 7-10, "severe pain" "10" being the most intense pain conceivable.

    6 hours post-operatively

  • Post-operative pain

    The pain will be recorded using the modified visual analogue scale (VAS). • 0, "no pain" * 1-3, "mild pain" * 4-6, "moderate pain" * 7-10, "severe pain" "10" being the most intense pain conceivable.

    24 hours post-operatively

  • Post-operative pain

    The pain will be recorded using the modified visual analogue scale (VAS). • 0, "no pain" * 1-3, "mild pain" * 4-6, "moderate pain" * 7-10, "severe pain" "10" being the most intense pain conceivable.

    48 hours post-operatively
