Laser-evoked potentials as a novel tool for sensibility assessment following inferior pedicle breast reduction

Background Nipple-areola complex numbness is common following breast reduction with most techniques. The aim of our study was to objectively quantify specific sensory outcomes before and after inferior pedicle breast reduction with two combined neurophysiological methods: dermatomal somatosensory evoked potentials (D-SEPs) and laser-evocated potentials (LEPs).
