They were divided into laparoscopy and laparotomy groups by surgical approach, and into internal and external drainage groups by drainage method. Four subgroups were then formed: minimally invasive surgical internal drainage (MIS-ID) and minimally invasive surgical external drainage (MIS-ED), open surgical internal surgical drainage (OS-ID) and open surgical external drainage (OS-ED).
