The document compares appetite levels after two types of surgery (PT and TT) using a visual analogue scale (VAS) score over 10 days of follow up. No differences were seen in the first 4 days, but on day 4 there was a highly significant difference (p=0.004) with appetite recovering faster in the PT group. This difference was sustained until day 10 when the PT group showed much faster recovery of usual appetite levels, with 96% recovered by the last day compared to only 52% in the TT group (p=0.002).

On the first 4 days after surgery (from day 0 to day 3), no
significant differences were observed in the PT vs. the TT surgery groups. 'e difference in the VAS score was highly significant on the 4th follow-up day (p value � 0.004). 'e significant difference was sustained from day 4 till day 10, where a noticeable fast shift in the appetite was observed in the PT group vs a slow one in the TT group. On the last follow-up day, 24 (96%) in the PT group restored their usual appetite, whereas only 13 (52%) had reached this stage (p value � 0.002)
