Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Evaluation for wound infection on the 10th post-operative day | Discharge, redness, increased temperature, and dehiscence were accepted as wound infection. | 0-10. day | |
Primary | Evaluation of the incision cosmetic result at the 2nd month post-op | The cosmetic outcome of wound site scar healing was evaluated with two different scales. The Patient and Observer Assessment Scale (POSAS) is a questionnaire developed to assess scar quality. The investigator scores six items: vascularization, pigmentation, thickness, surface roughness, elasticity, and surface area. The participant scores six items: pain, itching, color, thickness, relief, and flexibility. All items are scored on a 10-point multiple scale; A score of 1 is given when the scar characteristic is similar to 'normal skin' and a score of 10 is given when it reflects the 'worst scar'. All items are summed to determine the total scar score; a higher score represents worse scar quality. The Vancouver scar scale (VSS) consists of four variables: vascularity, height (thickness), elasticity and pigmentation. The total score ranges from 0 to 14, with a score of 0 reflecting normal skin. | 2.month | |
Primary | Evaluation of the incision cosmetic result at the 6th month post-op | The cosmetic outcome of wound site scar healing was evaluated with two different scales. The Patient and Observer Assessment Scale (POSAS) is a questionnaire developed to assess scar quality. The investigator scores six items: vascularization, pigmentation, thickness, surface roughness, elasticity, and surface area. The participant scores six items: pain, itching, color, thickness, relief, and flexibility. All items are scored on a 10-point multiple scale; A score of 1 is given when the scar characteristic is similar to 'normal skin' and a score of 10 is given when it reflects the 'worst scar'. All items are summed to determine the total scar score; a higher score represents worse scar quality. The Vancouver scar scale (VSS) consists of four variables: vascularity, height (thickness), elasticity and pigmentation. The total score ranges from 0 to 14, with a score of 0 reflecting normal skin. | 6.month |
