mean VAS of the first postoperative 24 hourswithin the first 24 postoperative hours

VAS is an internationally recognized pain scale with 11 points ranging from 0 to 10 points, with 0 defined as no pain and 10 defined as the worst pain imaginable. The VAS will be registered at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 hours after the surgery, and the primary outcome will be calculated as the mean VAS scores measured at these time point.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
nausea scoreat 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours after the surgery;
pruritus scoreat 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours after the surgery;
quality of recovery evaluated by the self-assessment 15-item quality of recovery (QoR) scaleat 3 days and 5 days after the sugery

QoR is a 15-item questionnaire which will score on a scale of 0-10 pertaining to patient's comfort, support system, pain, well-being, and ability to carry out daily activities, where 0 indicates none of the time and 10 indicates all of the time

long-term pain controlat 48, 72 and 7 days after the surgery

evaluated by VAS at 48, 72 hours and 7 days after the surgery
