Table 4. VAS scores of the two groups (mean±SD).
Group | Preoperative date | Postoperative day 3 | Postoperative day 7 |
The open group | 8.1 ± 1.0 | 4.8 ± 1.2a | 2.3 ± 1.5b |
The mini-open group | 8.2 ± 1.1 | 1.8 ± 1.1a | 1.0 ± 0.8b |
P | 0.66 | < 0.001 | < 0.001 |
Compared with Preoperative VAS, there were significant differences (P < 0.01);
Compared with VAS of three days after surgery, there were significant differences (P < 0.01).
