Abstract
The current evidence shows that nerve coaptation results in superior sensory recovery of the reconstructed breast compared to spontaneous reinnervation of the flap. This review illustrates that more standardised, high-quality studies with adequate sample sizes are needed to objectively evaluate the sensory recovery of the breast after autologous breast reconstructions.
