Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Fromme-Boezaart surgical field scale	Immediate after surgery	Fromme-Boezaart surgical field scale is visual assessment of surgical field using a 6-point scale (min=0, max=5); 0 mean No bleeding; 1. mean Slight bleeding ; no suctioning of blood required; 2. mean Slight bleeding ; occasional suctioning required. Surgical field not threatened; 3. mean Slight bleeding ; frequent suctioning required. Bleeding threatens surgical filed a few seconds after suction is removed; 4. mean Moderate bleeding ; frequent suctioning required. Bleeding threatens surgical field directly after suction is removed; 5. mean Severe bleeding ; constant suctioning required. Bleeding appears faster than can be removed by suction. Surgical field severely threatened and surgery not possible 0=best possible operating conditions and dryness of the surgical field; 5= worst possible conditions

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Numerical rating scale: NRS at 24 hrs	24 hours after surgery	NRS is a pain intensity assessment of patients using a 11 point scale (min=0, max=10) 0=no pain 10= worst pain
Numerical rating scale: NRS at 72 hrs	72 hours after surgery	NRS is a pain intensity assessment of patients using a 11 point scale (min=0, max=10) 0=no pain 10= worst pain
