Overview

The purpose of this study is to find out how common persistent postmastectomy pain (PPMP) is among people who have had a mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery for their breast cancer. The study will also look at how effective regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI) surgery is for reducing pain from neuropathic PPMP after breast reconstruction.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Female
  • Age ≥18 years
  • History of mastectomy for breast cancer or genetic predisposition to breast cancer
  • History of breast reconstruction with implants and/or autologous tissue
  • At least 6 months of follow-up after reconstruction
  • Patient treated at MSK

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Exchange or revision surgery within 6 months
  • Active medical reason for pain (e.g., infectious, neoplastic, wound related)
  • Greater than 15 years post-reconstruction
