Robotic-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy trial
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman who needs a mastectomy for breast cancer or is at high risk for breast cancer.
- Your skin does not need to be reduced or removed during the surgery.
- You are able to have an MRI after surgery (not claustrophobic or too obese).
- You can complete a questionnaire about your breast appearance and quality of life.
- You agree to participate in the study and sign a consent form.

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.
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 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 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 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.
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.
