Abstract:
Absent or diminished breast sensation is a persistent problem for many postmastectomy patients. Breast neurotization is an opportunity to improve sensory outcomes, which are poor and unpredictable if left to chance. Several techniques for autologous and implant reconstruction have been described with successful clinical and patient-reported outcomes. Neurotization is a safe procedure with minimal risk for morbidity and it presents a fantastic avenue for future research.
