Los estudios destacan objetivos diversos de la reconstrucción y técnicas más recientes de mastectomía que preservan la sensibilidad
Research found women undergoing breast reconstruction after mastectomy have goals extending beyond physical restoration. Newer nerve-preserving techniques aim to restore chest and nipple sensation but are still being studied.
Women undergoing breast reconstruction after mastectomy have varied goals for the procedure that may not be limited to physical restoration, according to findings reported in Clinical Breast Cancer. Starting in 2018, some surgeons began using new techniques to preserve and repair sensory nerves in the chest during a mastectomy or a delayed breast reconstruction surgery, and they found that, for some, the techniques could successfully restore sensation in the breast area and nipples and prevent chronic pain from nerve damage.
