Robotic Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy and Implant Reconstruction Study
Part of Cancer, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You are already scheduled for a nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate implant reconstruction.
- Your reason for mastectomy is either a genetic mutation, DCIS, or early invasive breast cancer.
- The tumor is not touching the skin, nipple, or chest muscle (confirmed by MRI).
- You have not had radiation to your chest before.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you can read and sign a consent form in English.

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 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 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 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.
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 new way to remove breast tissue using a single-port robot through a small incision, with immediate reconstruction of the breast. It may be an option for women with early-stage breast cancer who want to keep their breast shape after surgery.
