Robot-assisted versus open nipple-sparing mastectomy with reconstruction
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re an adult woman (age 19 or older) planning surgery for breast cancer.
- Your planned treatment is a mastectomy (not breast-conserving surgery) and you want immediate breast reconstruction.
- Your breast cancer stage is 0 to IIIA based on pre-surgery staging.
- Your general health/activity level is ECOG 0 or 1 (up and able to do most normal activities).
- Before surgery, your medical team says the nipple and skin are not involved with cancer.
- You can’t be pregnant or breastfeeding, and you must be able to give informed consent.

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 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 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 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.
This trial tests a breast cancer surgery that removes the breast but saves the nipple, followed by immediate reconstruction with an implant and some of your own fat. It's for women with early-stage cancer that hasn't spread to lymph nodes.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive nipple-sparing mastectomy (robotic vs. endoscopic) to see which better preserves nipple sensation. It may help you if you have early-stage breast cancer and want to keep the nipple while removing the breast tissue.
