      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Prevention, Randomization description: We make an envelope for each patient, and in each envelope we put twice the chance of the control and one time the chance of the trial, that is, two green cards (control group) and one red card (trial group) in each envelope.
we put . Then we randomly remove a card from the envelope, if the card is green, the patient is In the control category, if the card is red, the patient is included in the trial group.
Regarding randomization, 6 random blocks were generated with the help of www.sealedenvelope.com , where the number of group a is twice the number of group b, Blinding description: The patient is not aware of the type of suture used in the surgery.</study_design>
