Summary
This study tests whether a one-hour electrical stimulation during mastectomy surgery can help restore lost sensation in the breast and nipple. Thirty women having both breasts removed preventively will receive the stimulation on one breast only, and their sensation will be tested over two years. The goal is to improve quality of life and reduce the risk of injury from numbness.
