Summary

This study wants to obtain more information regarding the patient's concerns since concerns of the patient about the procedure is found as a predictor for the development of chronic post-surgical pain. This step is crucial in translating early identification of a high-risk population into preventive policies. Using a semi-structured interview, the investigators aim to gather this additional information, which is essential in the development of an (individualized) biopsychosocial care pathway in the future.
