Assessing Perioperative Complications and Cost of Nipple-Areolar Complex Neurotization in Immediate Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction Following Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy

As NAC neurotization introduces increased complexity from coordination with the oncologic surgeons, use of microsurgical instruments, and additional implantable devices, it is important to compare perioperative outcomes to standard breast reconstruction. As our institution begins to offer this new technique, we have identified no increased risk of perioperative complications with NAC neurotization.
