Placebo Comparator: Control Before the operation, patients in the experimental group will fill the anxiety scales (DAS and STAI). The verbal information in detail will be given to the patients by the surgeon.This verbal information will include the complications that patients may face and what should be done after the procedure. |
Other: Anxiety measurement method
