n=50; P- the reliability of differences in indicators before surgery and 1 year after surgery in the main group; P٭ - the reliability of differences in indicators 1 year and 3 years after surgery in the main group; P٭٭– the reliability of differences in indicators before surgery and 1 year after surgery in the control group; P٭٭٭ - the reliability of differences in indicators after 1 year and 3 years after surgery in the control group; P is calculated based on the Newman-Keil’s criterion
