Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Recurrence rate	Recurrences requiring repeat surgery during a 6-month follow up period	6 months
Secondary	Mortality	The proportion deceased at a given time during the 6 month follow up.	6 months
Secondary	Complications related to the surgery	Complications will be assessed using the Landriel Ibanez classification modelThis model grades complications in 4 grades (Grade 1: no invasive treatment required; Grade 2: invasive treatment required, but not intensive care; Grade 3: invasive treatment required and intensive care; Grade 4: death).	6 months
Secondary	Health related quality of life	A standardised instrument, EuroQoL 5D-3L, will be used as a generic measure of health related quality of life. The questionnaire contains 5 questions in different domains.	6 months
