Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Fromme-Boezaart surgical field scale
Time Frame: 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 Outcomes
- Numerical rating scale: NRS at 24 hrs(24 hours after surgery)
- Numerical rating scale: NRS at 72 hrs(72 hours after surgery)
