Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

There is a lack of recent local data regarding the management of post-operative pain using different suturing techniques. The findings of this study would help in adopting a more effective technique, resulting in reducing the postoperative pain and lowering morbidity. Practical recommendations can be made to enhance routine practices and establish guidelines for these patients.
