Nipple-sparing mastectomy and reconstruction with robotic or flap options
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies different ways surgeons can remove the breast and rebuild it, including approaches that keep the nipple-area tissue and reconstruction using the latissimus dorsi flap (a type of tissue flap) with or without an implant. It may help improve which reconstruction method works best for people undergoing mastectomy for breast cancer or high breast-cancer risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older.
- You can sign and give informed consent for the study.
- You are having breast removal (mastectomy) for breast cancer or you are at high risk (for example, certain gene changes like BRCA1/BRCA2 or PALB2, or specific high-risk skin/lesion findings).
- Your surgery plan includes one of these options: keeping part of the nipple-area/skin area, or rebuilding immediately or later using a latissimus dorsi flap (with or without an implant/prosthesis).
- You are covered by a social security plan (or are a beneficiary of one).

This study looks at how women feel after having a nipple-sparing mastectomy (where the nipple is kept) and immediate breast reconstruction with an implant, using a robotic single-port technique. It aims to see if this approach improves well-being and patient satisfaction.
This trial compares how patients feel after open or robotic mastectomy combined with immediate DIEP flap reconstruction. It aims to see which approach improves wellbeing and recovery for women having this surgery.
This trial tests a new way to remove the breast through a small cut in the armpit (endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy) and immediately rebuild the breast using your own fat. It's for women with early-stage breast cancer who want to keep their nipple and have reconstruction at the same time.
This study tests a new, less invasive surgery called endoscopic mastectomy for women who need breast removal. It aims to see how well the surgery works, how the breast looks and feels afterward, and whether nipple sensation is preserved.
This trial tests a single-port robotic procedure to remove breast tissue while preserving the nipple and areola, followed by immediate reconstruction with a breast implant. It may be an option for patients who want mastectomy with reconstruction instead of breast-conserving surgery.
This trial tests a robotic-assisted surgery technique for women who need a mastectomy but can keep their skin and nipple. It aims to improve outcomes for breast cancer patients and those at high risk.
