Brief summary (from the registry)

Post-mastectomy pain due to nerve injury leads to long-term opioid use and diminished quality-of-life. The investigators on this study will evaluate the regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI), a novel surgical approach to neuroma treatment, to improve patient-reported post-mastectomy pain and definitively treat intercostal neuromas after mastectomy.
