Local heating-induced cutaneous vasodilation in reinnervated and noninnervated deep inferior epigastric perforator flaps.
[INTRODUCTION] Cutaneous vascular reactivity to local heating in free flaps has not been characterized. We aimed to assess local heating-induced cutaneous vasodilation in reinnervated and noninnervated deep inferior epigastric perforator (D…

Learning Sensory Nerve Coaptation in Free Flap Breast Reconstruction.
[BACKGROUND] The aims of this study were to assess whether sensory nerve coaptation in free flap breast reconstruction is subject to learning, and to elucidate challenges of this technique. [METHODS] In this single-center retrospective c…

The efficacy of sensory nerve coaptation in DIEP flap breast reconstruction - Preliminary results of a double-blind randomized controlled trial.
[BACKGROUND] Sensory nerve coaptation has great potential to restore sensation after autologous breast reconstruction. However, blinded and randomized studies are lacking. We therefore present the preliminary results of our ongoing double-b…

The influence of a previous implant-based breast reconstruction on postoperative sensation of the deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap.
[BACKGROUND] Implants and DIEP flaps have different outcomes regarding postoperative breast sensation. When compared to the preoperative healthy breast, implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) negatively influences postoperative breast s…

Replacing an Implant-Based with a DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction: Breast Sensation and Quality of Life.
[BACKGROUND] In this cohort study, the authors compared breast sensation and quality of life (QoL) after replacement of an implant-based breast reconstruction with a deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap reconstruction in a singul…

Sensory recovery and the role of innervated flaps in autologous breast reconstruction-a narrative review.
[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE] Continuing (micro)surgical developments result in satisfactory aesthetic outcomes after autologous breast reconstruction. However, sensation recovers poorly and remains a source of dissatisfaction and potential ha…

Clinical Relevance of Sensory Nerve Coaptation in DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction Evaluated Using the BREAST-Q.
[BACKGROUND] Sensory nerve coaptation in autologous breast reconstruction positively affects sensory recovery in the reconstructed breast. However, patient-reported outcomes are lacking and no conclusions on the clinical relevance of nerve …

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Used for Assessing Breast Sensation after Mastectomy: Not Fit for Purpose.
[AIMS] The aims of this review were (i) to evaluate whether patient-reported outcome measures used in clinical studies for assessing sensation after mastectomy and breast reconstruction are suitable for this purpose, and (ii) to explore whe…

Nerve Coaptation Improves the Sensory Recovery of the Breast in DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction.
[BACKGROUND] Restoring the sensation of the reconstructed breast has increasingly become a goal of autologous breast reconstruction. The aim of this study was to analyze the sensory recovery of the breast and donor site of innervated compar…
