Summary
This study tested whether using ice packs on surgical cuts every 4 hours for 3 days helps adults recover better after chest, belly, or groin surgery. 196 patients took part, with some getting ice plus standard care and others standard care alone. The main goal was to see if a larger study is possible, but they also measured pain, recovery quality, and drug use.
