Statistical Analysis The null hypothesis considered in the study was the absence of difference in the clinical parameters between the different groups. For data analysis, the statistical program was used. The demographic and clinical data were compared between the groups using Student's t-test. The data were first analyzed for homogeneity using the Shapiro-Wilk test, which indicated non-normal distribution. . Those presenting Shapiro-Wilk p values < 0.05 were analyzed using a Friedman test (for intragroup comparisons) and Mann-Whitney tests (for intergroup comparisons). For remaining wound area, tissue colorimetry, tissue thickness, and post-operative discomfort parameter analysis, Two Way Repeated Measures ANOVA was performed for intra and intergroup analysis. T-test was used for intergroup comparison of number of analgesics taken. Presence or absence of scar was measured by Q-square test. For all tests significance level of 5% was used.
