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. […

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…

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…

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…
