Tprep—time of the preparation (period from the moment of conscious patient arriving to the operating room to the moment of skin incision), Top—time of the operation (period from the moment of skin incision to last suture insertion), TOR—total or time (Tprep + Top). LOSpre—preoperative length of hospital stay, LOSpost—postoperative length of hospital stay, LOSTOTAL—total length of hospital stay
