Randomized
Randomization description
The data collection method in this study will be done continuously and consecutively and in person based on the data collection form. Select the type of intervention in two groups of ligatures, cold dissection, as random allocation using (Block Randomization) (A, B, C, D) which according to the block number of sample 30 will be selected randomly using the table of random numbers and The number of patients referring to it will be determined accordingly, so the desired number will be wrote on the envelopes and the type of intervention will be placed inside the envelope. The researcher looks at the patient's bedside and looks at the type of intervention.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
For blindness, it is done as a single blind. In fact, patients do not know in which group they are, but they are already aware of both methods and enter the study with complete satisfaction, because they were unconscious and therefor they were unaware which surgery method had been used for them.
