The quality post‐surgical healing in was evaluated. Patient Scar Assessment Scale (PSAS), Vancouver (VSS), visual analogue scale (VAS) were used evaluate surgical incision 1‐year follow‐up. At this follow‐up visit, 115 reexamination; five lost follow‐up, including three group. showed better than ( P < .05). proportion received significantly higher non‐surgical site infection (SSI) SSI PSAS, VSS VAS scores improved compared with those Our results show that reduced degree
