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 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 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.
This trial compares two ways of doing a nipple-sparing mastectomy to see which one helps preserve more feeling in your breast afterward. If you are having this type of surgery with an implant, you may be eligible.
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 new way to remove the breast through a small cut in the armpit (endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy) and immediately rebuild the breast using your own fat. It's for women with early-stage breast cancer who want to keep their nipple and have reconstruction at the same time.
