      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: In this randomized controlled clinical trial, the patients will be consecutively and alternately (one in between) assigned into two groups in a 1:1 ratio, Blinding description: In this double-blind study, patients and the data collector are blinded. Patients are kept unaware of their group assignment and the intervention they are receiving. Patients in both groups receive serums with covers so that the content will not be visible to the patients. Both the treatment and control groups receive identical instructions and support. The data collector is kept blind to the group assignment of each patient. Collecting data including laboratory values after the surgery and clinical examinations will be performed without knowing the intervention done for the patient and only according to their records number.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Control group: The patients in the control group will receive only normal saline. Intervention 2: Intervention group: The patients in the intervention group will receive the first ascorbic acid dose (1 g in 10 mL) at the beginning of the surgery. Another dose of ascorbic acid (1 g in 10 mL) will be infused during the surgery. After the surgery, an additional dose of ascorbic acid (1 g in 10 mL) will be infused postoperatively during the first 12h.</i_freetext>
