    Pain intensity after surgery for the first 24 hours

    Measured: Postoperative day 1

  3. Analgesic consumption postoperatively

    Amount of different analgesics consumed during the 24 h period postoperatively

    Measured: Postoperative day 1

Secondary outcomes (8)

    Measured: 14 days after surgery

  6. Proportion of patients having pain postoperatively

    Amount of patients who had pain still two weeks after surgery

    Measured: Two weeks postoperatively

  7. Postoperative pain interference after 23 h surgery

    Patient assessed pain interference in daily activities up to 2 weeks after surgery
