Nipple sharing: systematic review and meta-analysis of techniques and outcomes

Nipple sharing utilizes a graft from a portion of the contralateral   nipple for nipple reconstruction

•  Nipple sharing is mainly employed in post-cancer breast   reconstruction and gender affirmation surgery

•  NAC reconstruction, regardless of technique, enhances patient   satisfaction

•  Key attributes: projection, color, shape, sensation, and symmetry

•  There is limited literature that consolidates techniques and   postoperative outcomes for nipple sharing

 

To systematically review the existing literature on nipple sharing in the context of post-cancer breast reconstruction, categorize all described surgical techniques, and analyze surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction.
