Video-Assisted Breast Surgery With Nipple Preservation
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgical technique that removes breast tissue while preserving the nipple and immediately reconstructing the breast. It may be suitable if you have early-stage breast cancer or are at high genetic risk and need preventive breast removal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and at least 18 years old
- You have early-stage invasive breast cancer (cT1N0) or carry a gene mutation increasing breast cancer risk (BRCA1/BRCA2 or similar)
- Your breasts are small to moderate in size with minimal sagging
- You are a candidate for immediate breast reconstruction with an implant
- You have not had prior radiation therapy to the affected breast
- You are willing and able to attend all follow-up appointments for at least 12 months

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.
This trial tests a less invasive surgery for early-stage breast cancer that removes breast tissue through a single small cut in the armpit while keeping the nipple. It may be an option for women with small to medium breasts who are candidates for immediate breast reconstruction.
This study tests a new, less invasive surgery called endoscopic mastectomy for women who need breast removal. It aims to see how well the surgery works, how the breast looks and feels afterward, and whether nipple sensation is preserved.
This study tests a less invasive mastectomy for people with breast cancer. The surgery uses a small camera (endoscope) to remove breast tissue while keeping the nipple, and reconstruction is done at the same time.
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 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.
