Comparing ways to keep nipple feeling after mastectomy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares different surgical methods to preserve nipple sensation in women having a nipple-sparing mastectomy. It aims to see which technique best helps maintain feeling in the nipple after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a candidate for a nipple-sparing mastectomy.
- You have not had breast surgery or radiation to the chest before.
- You do not have uncontrolled diabetes or conditions that affect skin sensation.

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 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.
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 is testing a surgical technique to reconnect nerves in the nipple and areola after a mastectomy, aiming to restore feeling. It is for women with breast cancer who are having a nipple-sparing mastectomy with implant reconstruction.
This study looks at how people feel after mastectomy, including transgender patients and those having nipple-sparing surgery. It aims to understand sensation and satisfaction to improve future care.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive nipple-sparing mastectomy (robotic vs. endoscopic) to see which better preserves nipple sensation. It may help you if you have early-stage breast cancer and want to keep the nipple while removing the breast tissue.
