Robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy safety and feasibility study
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether a robotic technique for nipple-sparing mastectomy is safe and practical to do. It may help your care team understand whether this approach works well for people who are candidates for nipple-sparing surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a candidate for open nipple-sparing mastectomy based on your anatomy and where your tumor is (or for risk-reducing surgery).
- Your diagnosis fits one of these: ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or clinically node-negative stage T1–T3 breast cancer, or prophylactic (risk-reducing) mastectomy.
- Your general functioning (ECOG) is 0 or 1, meaning you can do most daily activities.
- You can give informed consent (and understand what the study involves).
- You are not pregnant or nursing.
- You do not have inflammatory breast cancer, tumor touching the skin, tumor involving the nipple-areola complex, or severe nipple drooping (grade 3+).

This study tests a robotic technique for nipple-sparing mastectomy (removing breast tissue but keeping the nipple) with immediate reconstruction. It may be a good option if you need a mastectomy and want to preserve your nipple, have no signs of cancer there, and have a smaller breast size.
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 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 minimally invasive surgical technique that removes breast tissue while preserving the nipple and immediately reconstructing the breast. It may be suitable if you have early-stage breast cancer or are at high genetic risk and need preventive breast removal.
This study tests a new way to remove breast tissue using a single-port robot through a small incision, with immediate reconstruction of the breast. It may be an option for women with early-stage breast cancer who want to keep their breast shape after surgery.
This trial compares two ways of doing a nipple-sparing mastectomy to see which one helps preserve more feeling in your breast afterward. If you are having this type of surgery with an implant, you may be eligible.
