Evaluated Patient observer scar assessment score (POSAS)
* The POSAS is composed of two numerical scales that evaluate signs and symptoms of healing.
* Consists of the two following parts: a scale for patients and a scale for observers.
* Both contain six items punctuated numerically from 1 to 10
* The lowest score is 1 and corresponds to the normal skin
* The highest score is 10 and corresponds to the worst skin
* The total score of both scales can be calculated simply by adding the scores of each of the six items.
* The total score will range from 6 to 60.

Vancouver Scar ScaleSecondary· 6 weeks
Evaluated vancouver scar scale
Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) is used for validated scar assessment tools. Consist of the four following parts: vascularity(0-3) , height(0-3), pliability(0-5), and pigmentation(0-2). Each characteristic is given a score, which are added together to give an overall score between 0 and 13. The lowest score is 0 and corresponds to the normal skin. The highest score is 13 and corresponds to the worst skin.

Wound LeakageSecondary· 2 weeks
Wound leakage was evaluated by measuring the total blood-stained area on the waterproof dressing.
The dressing was placed on a standardized 1 mm² grid, and the stained area was calculated in square millimeters (mm²).
