Same-day awake mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction
Part of Cancer, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether people can have a mastectomy while awake (using numbing medicine instead of general anesthesia) and go home the same day with immediate breast reconstruction. It may be an option if you're healthy enough and have support at home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 75 years old
- You need a mastectomy that leaves the nipple or saves skin, and want reconstruction right away with an implant or expander
- Your BMI is below 35 and you haven't had heavy chest radiation before
- You are healthy enough to be an ASA class I, II, or III (fair to good health)
- You can go home the same day if you have help from a caregiver for the first 24 hours and your home is not too far from the hospital

This trial tests how safe and effective it is to remove the breast (mastectomy) and rebuild it right away during the same surgery. It is for women with early-stage breast cancer who want reconstruction instead of breast-sparing surgery.
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 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 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 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.
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.
