Postoperative pain levels assessed using the visual analogue pain scale. This scale pairs faces with numbers 1-10, with 1 being no pain and 10 being extreme pain. In the PACU pain assessed using this scale by the nursing staff. On postoperative days 1 and 2 the subjects self-reported their pain level.
