Data are presented as mean ± SD. Intergroup comparisons at each time point were performed using independent-sample t-tests. a. All postoperative reflux times were 0 s in both groups, indicating complete resolution of venous reflux. b. /: Statistical comparison not applicable due to identical values in both groups
