Nipple-sparing mastectomy with robotic help and implant reconstruction
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a newer, less invasive way to remove breast tissue while keeping the nipple and skin, using robotic or endoscopic tools. It then rebuilds the breast with an implant wrapped in a non-biological mesh. The goal is to see how well patients recover and how they feel about the results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had breast cancer surgery at Peking University People's Hospital with hospital records
- A needle biopsy before surgery confirmed breast cancer
- Your cancer is at an early to moderate stage (0 to IIIB), with a tumor 5 cm or smaller and no spread beyond nearby lymph nodes
- The cancer has not spread to your nipple, skin, or chest wall
- You and your doctor plan to use a special mesh (like TiLoop) to partially or fully cover the implant during surgery
- You are willing and able to fill out questionnaires about your recovery and quality of life

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 compares how patients feel after open or robotic mastectomy combined with immediate DIEP flap reconstruction. It aims to see which approach improves wellbeing and recovery for women having this surgery.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for breast reconstruction: placing the implant under the chest muscle versus in front of it. It may help people understand which approach works better for comfort and healing after mastectomy.
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 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 trial studies different ways surgeons can remove the breast and rebuild it, including approaches that keep the nipple-area tissue and reconstruction using the latissimus dorsi flap (a type of tissue flap) with or without an implant. It may help improve which reconstruction method works best for people undergoing mastectomy for breast cancer or high breast-cancer risk.
