Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the implementation of existing neurosurgical techniques of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) and the replacement of monopolar electrocautery with bipolar electrocautery (BE), during ALND, will improve the early identification of nerves that have been implicated in the cause of neuropathically-mediated post-surgical pain syndrome (PSPS).
