- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method postoperative pain intensity on the day of surgery and on three subsequent days by means of NRS recording twice a day<br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method In addition, the position of the pain catheters is recorded by means of sonographic control immediately after the operation and once a day on the first three postoperative days. Further parameters such as additional consumption of painkillers, amount of local anaesthetics administered, assessment of the puncture site and potential side effects are documented once a day. Finally, the time of catheter removal and patient satisfaction with the procedure is recorded with an NRS of 0 (completely dissatisfied) to 10 (very satisfied).<br>
