  1. Item listed as mean ± SEM.
  2. Student’s t test was used to test for statistical significance between stage II–III and IV group.
  3. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test for statistical significance between baseline, 1, 3 and 6 months postoperatively group. ***Statistically significant difference in comparison with baseline (p < 0.001). *Statistically significant difference in comparison with 3 months (p = 0.026). †Statistically significant difference in comparison with baseline(p = 0.033).
