Fig 1 Box plot distribution of multiple propensity scores according to study group (continuous incision, skip incision, and endoscopic). The error bars represent standard errors at each time interval. All the standard errors are <10%.

Fig 2 Kaplan-Meier curves of primary patency stratified by study group (continuous incision, skip incision, and endoscopic). Numbers of patients at risk are shown above the x-axis. Continuous vs skip: adjusted P = .170; continuous vs endoscopic: adjusted P = .020; skip vs endoscopic: adjusted P = .002.
