Sensation in Neurotized Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap Breast Reconstruction With Different Donor Nerves: Comparing T11 and T12.
[BACKGROUND] The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap can be reliably neurotized for autologous breast reconstruction. In standard fashion, a sensory branch of intercostal nerve T11 or T12 of the DIEP flap is coapted to the anter…
