Study of a new minimal scar mastectomy
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new surgical technique that leaves a smaller scar during mastectomy for breast cancer. It may be a good option if you want to keep the scar as small as possible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
- You are choosing to have a mastectomy with a smaller scar (minimal scar mastectomy).
- You are not having a standard (conventional) mastectomy.

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 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 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 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.
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 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.
