This study aims to identify the impact of neurotization (reconnecting sensory nerves) at the time of autologous breast reconstruction. Utilizing cadaveric allograft as conduit for nerve regeneration, patients are able to have restoration of sensation to the skin of the breast which is otherwise lost at the time of mastectomy. Outcomes include sensory testing and quality of life questionnaires to determine the impact of this intervention.
