Abstract: BACKGROUND Sensation after autologous breast reconstruction is an increasingly important outcome. Several studies demonstrated improved sensation with flap neurotization but utilized heterogenous measures and follow-up intervals. This review evaluates sensory outcomes after neurotization using uniform,… read more here.

Abstract: Background Corneal neurotization describes reinnervation of the anesthetic or severely hypoesthetic cornea with a healthy local nerve or graft. Preliminary evidence has shown corneal neurotization to improve corneal sensation, visual acuity, and ocular surface health.… read more here.
