Robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy with reconstruction
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a nipple-sparing mastectomy (removal of breast tissue while keeping the nipple) with immediate reconstruction.
- You have invasive breast cancer, DCIS (early breast cancer), or carry a BRCA gene mutation.
- Your doctor has checked and found no signs that the tumor has spread to the nipple area.
- Your breast size is not larger than a bra size D or DD (≤ Bra IV).
- You are not a heavy smoker (20 or fewer cigarettes per day).
- You are in good enough health for anesthesia (low or intermediate risk).

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 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 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 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 tests a new robotic-assisted surgery technique for breast cancer. It aims to remove the breast tissue while keeping the nipple and skin, and then place a breast implant in the same operation, which may help improve cosmetic results and recovery.
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.
