Nerve grafts to improve feeling after nipple-sparing mastectomy with implants
Part of Cancer, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a nerve graft during nipple-sparing mastectomy with implant reconstruction helps restore feeling in the breast after surgery. It compares sensation outcomes in patients who receive the graft versus those who do not.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a technique that reattaches nerves during breast reconstruction to help restore feeling in the new breast. It may improve sensation and quality of life after surgery.
This trial is testing a surgical technique to reconnect nerves in the nipple and areola after a mastectomy, aiming to restore feeling. It is for women with breast cancer who are having a nipple-sparing mastectomy with implant reconstruction.
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 looks at how people feel after mastectomy, including transgender patients and those having nipple-sparing surgery. It aims to understand sensation and satisfaction to improve future care.
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 trial compares different surgical methods to preserve nipple sensation in women having a nipple-sparing mastectomy. It aims to see which technique best helps maintain feeling in the nipple after surgery.
