Optimising neurorrhaphy position without compromising flap inset in neurotised abdominal based breast reconstruction.

Neurotization represents a promising adjunct in the technique of autologous breast reconstruction following mastectomy (1). However, there is a paucity of literature on the actual technique of neurotization and the practicality of selecting donor and recipient nerves when considering pedicle length, perforator position and flap inset plan. We describe the neurotization technique in detail which permits a number of flap inset patterns, with no additional donor site morbidity, and minimal extra surgical time.
