Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) High risk Quote: "The first patient was selected in one of the two experimental groups by coin toss, and the next patient
 was consecutively added to the opposite group by one of the authors"
Allocation concealment (selection bias) High risk Quote: "The first patient was selected in one of the two experimental groups by coin toss, and the next patient
 was consecutively added to the opposite group by one of the authors"
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) 
 All outcomes Unclear risk Information not reported
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk All measurements were performed by 1 examiner not aware of the type of surgical procedure
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk Data are missing in both intervention groups (4 patients discontinued the study between 6‐ to 12‐month evaluations due to moving to another city). Thus, decision to move house away from the geographical location to another is unlikely to be connected with their subsequent outcome
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Low risk Evidence of selective reporting of outcomes was not detected
Other bias Low risk Evidence of other bias was not detected
