SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 days post surgery

The investigators will report the average pain score per POD, for 4 days (PODs 0,1,2,3). Higher scores mean worse outcome. Good pain control will be defined as pain less than 4 on a 0-10 scale. Pain is scored by observers on a minimum of 0 (no pain) to a maximum of 10 (worst pain) on this scale. The median and inter-quartile range of the average pain score per post-operative day is reported. The timeframe includes the post-operative day (POD 0), and 3 days post-surgery (POD 1-3), for a total of 4 post-operative days.
