Official title
Return of Breast Sensation Following Nipple Sparing Mastectomy and Breast Reconstruction With or Without Neurotized Free Tissue Transfer: An Evaluation of Clinical, Sensory, and Quality of Life Outcomes
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Tissue Expander/Implant Reconstruction: The purpose of this study is to determine how and when nerve sensation to the breast skin returns after mastectomy. Autologous Tissue Reconstruction: The purpose of this study is to determine whether the tissue being used to reconstruct your breast can provide sensation by using your own nerves. Typically all sensation is lost immediately after this type of surgery and returns to varying degrees. We are hoping to demonstrate that by connecting the two nerves (one from abdomen and one from the chest wall) together, we can attain meaningful sensation in the transferred tissues thereby improving your quality of life following surgery.
