Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Opioid Consumption	72 hours after surgery	Opioid consumption (morphine milligrams equivalent) during the initial 72 hours after surgery.

Pain scores were measured using the numeric rating scale ranging from 0-10, with 0 indicating the lowest pain (better) and 10 the highest pain (worse). Pain scores were recorded approximately every 15 minutes in the post-anesthesia care unit and then every 4 hours in the ward.
