Quantifying Thermal and Tactile Recovery in Dual-Neurotized Breast Flaps: A Pilot Intrapatient Control Study.
[BACKGROUND] Dual-nerve neurotization of deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps may enhance postmastectomy reinnervation, but the early timeline and regional patterns of tactile and thermal recovery remain incompletely defined. […
- Dual-nerve coaptation using Nerve Tape in DIEP flap breast reconstruction: A cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional methods.

Reduction Mammaplasty Prior to Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy Is Associated With Decreased Ischemic Complications in Large-Breasted Patients.
[BACKGROUND] Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) improves aesthetic outcomes but carries a higher risk of ischemic complications, particularly in patients with large, ptotic breasts. This study evaluates whether reduction mammaplasty prior to N…

Defining Predictors of Tactile and Thermal Sensory Recovery After Reduction Mammaplasty: Insights from Multimodal Testing.
[BACKGROUND] Sensory loss following reduction mammaplasty remains a key concern for patients. While general tactile recovery has been well studied, less is known about temperature sensation or region-specific recovery patterns. This study e…

Trends in Medicare Reimbursement for Breast Procedures: A National and Geographic Analysis, 2010-2024.
[BACKGROUND] Medicare reimbursements have stagnated or declined despite rising practice costs. Because regional adjustments through the Geographic Practice Cost Index (GPCI) only partially account for cost variation, surgeons in high-cost o…

The Use of Low-Dose Chlorhexidine Gluconate Irrigation in Preventing Intraoperative Contamination in Tissue Expander-Based Breast Reconstruction.
[BACKGROUND] There are many intraoperative techniques and washes that are used to prevent bacterial contamination during breast reconstruction. Low-dose chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) is a low-pressure irrigation that offers broad spectrum a…

Impact of Chemotherapy and Radiation on Breast Sensation After Immediate Reconstruction.
[PURPOSE] This study explores the impact of chemotherapy and radiation therapy (XRT) on breast sensation in patients undergoing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. [METHODS] This prospective study, conducted from 2019 to 2024, focuse…
-
Thermal versus tactile sensory recovery following alloplastic and neurotized autologous breast reconstruction.
[BACKGROUND] Loss of sensation after mastectomy impacts long-term satisfaction, yet thermal sensory outcomes remain understudied. This study compares tactile and thermal recovery following two-stage alloplastic versus neurotized autologous …
-
Sensation Alterations Following Superior and Superomedial Wise Pattern Breast Reductions.
[INTRODUCTION] Breast reduction has the potential to alter sensation of the breast and nipple-areolar complex (NAC) due to intraoperative sensory nerve disruption. There is currently a paucity of available literature pertaining to sensation…
-
Impact of Comorbidities on Sensory Return After Breast Reconstruction.
[PURPOSE] Breast anesthesia after mastectomy and reconstruction has been an ongoing concern with few improvements made in recent years. At present, there is a lack of studies evaluating the impact of comorbidities on sensation restoration. …
-
An Evaluation of Native Breast Dimension and Tissue Expander Inflation Rate on the Risk of Capsular Contracture Development in Postmastectomy Reconstruction.
[INTRODUCTION] Capsular contracture is a common complication after 2-stage breast reconstruction. The relationships between native breast size, the rate of tissue expander expansion, and capsule formation have not been elucidated. This stud…
-
Machine-Learning Prediction of Capsular Contraction after Two-Stage Breast Reconstruction.
[BACKGROUND] Two-stage breast reconstruction is a common technique used to restore preoperative appearance in patients undergoing mastectomy. However, capsular contracture may develop and lead to implant failure and significant morbidity. T…
-
A Comparative Analysis of Sensory Return in Delayed-Immediate Versus Immediate Neurotized Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap Breast Reconstruction.
[BACKGROUND] Breast reconstruction patients who anticipate adjuvant radiation are not suitable candidates for immediate deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap reconstruction due to the risk of flap fibrosis, shrinkage, and fat necr…
-
A Pilot Study Comparing Sensation in Buried Versus Nonburied Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flaps.
[BACKGROUND] Neurotized deep inferior epigastic perforator (DIEP) flaps have been shown to improve sensory recovery after mastectomy and reconstruction. With the recent trend toward nipple-sparing mastectomies, sensation likely originates w…
