Breast removal with different reconstruction options, with or without robotic help
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares different ways of doing mastectomy (breast removal) and immediate or later breast reconstruction, with or without robotic assistance. The goal is to see which approach gives the best results for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have breast cancer or a very high risk of breast cancer (such as carrying certain gene mutations like BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2).
- You are planning to have a mastectomy (surgery to remove the breast) and may choose to keep or remove the nipple area.
- You are considering breast reconstruction, either with your own body tissue (like a back muscle flap) or with an implant, done at the same time or later.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you can follow the study's medical follow-up plan.

This study looks at how women feel after having a robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate implant reconstruction. It focuses on their well-being and satisfaction after surgery.
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 studies breast reconstruction using implants after mastectomy (breast removal surgery). It aims to understand how different types of implants work and how patients recover.
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 compares two surgical approaches to remove the breast using a nipple-sparing mastectomy and do immediate breast reconstruction—either robot-assisted or open surgery. It aims to see how well each method works and how patients do afterward.
This study compares a newer, less invasive robotic method for breast cancer surgery with the standard approach. It aims to see if using a single-port robot can help remove the cancer while keeping the breast or reconstructing it with an implant, with fewer side effects and better cosmetic results.
