Mastectomy with nipple preservation using endoscopy
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a less invasive mastectomy for people with breast cancer. The surgery uses a small camera (endoscope) to remove breast tissue while keeping the nipple, and reconstruction is done at the same time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 20 and 75 years old.
- You need a mastectomy (removal of the whole breast) and want to keep your nipple.
- Your breast cancer is more than 2 cm away from the nipple.
- Your bra cup size is A, B, or C, with little to no sagging (ptosis grade 0-2).
- You plan to have immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy.
- You are generally healthy (able to do everyday activities with little help).

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 trial tests a less invasive surgery for early-stage breast cancer that removes breast tissue through a single small cut in the armpit while keeping the nipple. It may be an option for women with small to medium breasts who are candidates for immediate breast reconstruction.
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 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 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.
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.
