Patients used an average of 3.33\u00a0mg oral morphine (SEM 2.35) in hospital, and 3\u00a0mg (SEM 2) on post-op day 1. Periprocedural pain scores were 0.66 (SEM 0.27). Pain scores in recovery were 1.56 (SEM 0.76). Pain scores 3\u201312\u00a0h post discharge were 3.56 (SEM 0.7), while pain scores on post-op day 1 were significantly higher at 5.56 (SEM 0.90) (Figure\u00a01). Functional pain scoring showed patients doing activities of daily living well with a good ability to breathe and cough. All felt that their pain was well controlled on the day of the procedure and at home.
