In the EORTC QLQ STO22 symptom scales, although it did not reach statistical significance, pain scores tended to be better in the SIDG group at POD 2 weeks (MLDG = 18.2 ± 19.5 vs SIDG = 9.6 ± 22.9, p = 0.088) and at POD 1 month (MLDG = 12.4 ± 22.3 vs SIDG = 2.3 ± 19.9, p = 0.076) which gradually became similar after 6 months.
