- W4220773852 abstract "Summary: Chronic postmastectomy pain affects up to 40 percent of patients and leads to diminished quality of life and increased risk of opioid dependence. The cause of this pain is incompletely understood; however, one hypothesis is that direct injury to cutaneous intercostal nerves at the time of mastectomy and/or reconstruction leads to chronic pain. As a result, proximal neurectomy of the involved sensory nerve(s) has been suggested to be effective for these patients. The purpose of this study was to determine whether chronic pain in postmastectomy patients can be diagnosed reliably in an office setting and pain reduced by intercostal sensory neurectomy. The authors performed a retrospective review of seven patients with a history of breast surgery and chronic pain who underwent intercostal neurectomy combined with muscle or dermal wrapping of the proximal end of the resected nerve. All patients were diagnosed by history and physical examination, and suspected nerves were further identified with local anesthetic nerve blocks. An average of 3.14 neurectomies were performed per patient (range, one to six). There was a significant reduction in visual analogue scale pain scores following surgery, from 9 preoperatively to 1 postoperatively (p = 0.02). Eighty-six percent of patients were pain-free or “considerably improved” at their latest follow-up appointment (average, 6.14 months). It is concluded that intercostal sensory nerve injury at the time of mastectomy and/or reconstruction can lead to chronic mastectomy pain, which can be easily diagnosed and effectively treated with intercostal neurectomy. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, IV." @default.
