Robotic breast reduction surgery for men
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a new robotic technique to remove extra breast tissue in men with gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts). It aims to see if this less invasive surgery is effective and safe, and it may help reduce physical discomfort and emotional distress.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are male and between 18 and 75 years old.
- Your breast enlargement has lasted for more than a year.
- Medication either hasn't helped or you prefer not to take it.
- The breast enlargement is significant enough (grade IIb or higher) to cause distress or pain.
- You are generally healthy and able to undergo anesthesia and surgery.

This study compares two surgical approaches for removing male breast gland tissue in men with gynecomastia. One method uses small cuts and a camera (endoscopic), the other uses a standard cut (open surgery) – both aim to preserve the nipple and areola.
This study compares different ways to treat severe gynecomastia (enlarged male breast tissue). It aims to find the best approach to reduce breast size and improve chest shape.
This study compares a newer, less invasive robotic method for breast cancer surgery with the standard approach. It aims to see if using a single-port robot can help remove the cancer while keeping the breast or reconstructing it with an implant, with fewer side effects and better cosmetic 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 trial tests a new robotic technique for removing early-stage breast cancer through the armpit, leaving no scar on the chest. It may be an option for women who want to keep their breast shape and avoid visible scarring.
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.
