Robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy with implant reconstruction
Part of Cancer, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You have been chosen by your breast care team to have a nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate implant reconstruction.
- You are having this surgery because you carry a genetic mutation that increases breast cancer risk, or you have DCIS (early breast changes) or early invasive breast cancer.
- Your tumor does not involve the skin or nipple, and there is no cancer within 1 cm of the skin, nipple, or chest muscle (confirmed by MRI).
- You are fluent in English and able to give informed consent.
- You are fit for general anesthesia and not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 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 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 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 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 study compares different ways of doing mastectomy (breast removal) and immediate or later breast reconstruction, with or without robotic assistance. The goal is to see which approach gives the best results for patients.
