      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Patients will be allocated into 2 groups using a permuted balanced block randomization method with the size of blocks 4 and 8. Random sequence will be generated by an epidemiologist by running an online program in sealed envelope website (https://www.sealedenvelope.com/). Random chain concealment is done by opaque envelope method, Blinding description: The study is double-blind. The analysis is done by the analyst and outcome evaluator (two-blind) and the participant. Analysts, evaluators and participants are not aware of the consequences of grouping. The specialist assistant is unaware of the type of operation in each group and the surgeon is aware of the type of operation and patients are not aware of their group.</study_design>
