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 trial tests a robotic technique for nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for patients who are candidates for this surgery.
This study tests a new robotic-assisted surgery technique for breast cancer. It aims to remove the breast tissue while keeping the nipple and skin, and then place a breast implant in the same operation, which may help improve cosmetic results and recovery.
This study tests a less invasive surgery for breast cancer. It uses a single small opening and a robotic arm to remove breast tissue while keeping the skin and nipple, then rebuilds the breast right away. This might mean less scarring and a faster recovery while still treating the cancer.
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 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 compares two ways to remove the breast tissue while keeping the nipple and skin: a conventional (open) surgery versus a endoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery, both followed by immediate implant reconstruction. The goal is to see which approach leads to better feeling (sensory recovery) in the breast after surgery.
