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. […

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…

Investigating the Safety of Breast Reconstruction With the Deep Inferior Epigastric Flap in Patients With Connective Tissue Diseases.
[BACKGROUND] Connective tissue diseases (CTDs) are associated with impaired wound healing and hypercoagulability. There is currently a paucity of research examining postoperative outcomes in these patients following microsurgical procedures…

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…
