Table 3.

Percentage of increase of the circumferences of mid-thigh and top of thigh between the two groups (SLN alone vs. standard).

Mean differential (%)	SLN group	Standard group	P-value
Mid-thigh, right	3.92	5.39	0.0784
Mid-thigh, left (%)	3.53	5.24	0.0645
Top of thigh, right (%)	2.35	4	0.1742
Top of thigh, left (%)	2.39	3.92	0.1655

The difference is calculated between the maximal circumference among the postoperative visits and the circumference at the inclusion visit (centimeters) for mid-thigh and top of thigh.
