- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method A Modified Vancouver Scar Score will be used due to non-availability of simple non-invasive scar scoring systems. The scar scale was modified to suit an Indian setup where invasive methods are not feasible for large population and invasive methods may be distasteful to the study population. A few parameters i.e., maximum scar width, pruritus, and type of scar were added to get a more reliable noninvasively obtained data with simple tools. Best scar score will be 0 while worst scar score will be 20Timepoint: End of first, second and third month post op. Final examination done on 6month completion post op
