Dear Sir,
Thank you for your comments with regards to our letter 1.
The decision to deviate from the planned operative procedure on the day was made by the operating surgeon. The operating surgeon was not blinded to the participant allocation method (teleclinic vs face to face) as that would imply that they would not have full access to the patient clinic letter, which would result in suboptimal clinical practice. However, the operating surgeon was blind to study participation.
