Study Description
Brief Summary: The sensory recovery of the breast remains an undervalued aspect of breast reconstruction and surgical reinnervation is not regarded as a priority by most reconstructive surgeons. A prospective study was conducted of all patients who underwent either innervated or non-innervated lateral thigh perforator (LTP) flap breast reconstruction in Maastricht University Medical Center and returned for follow-up between February 2016 and April 2019. Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments were used for sensory testing of the breast.
