Robotic vs. endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy for breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive nipple-sparing mastectomy (robotic vs. endoscopic) to see which better preserves nipple sensation. It may help you if you have early-stage breast cancer and want to keep the nipple while removing the breast tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have early-stage breast cancer (DCIS or invasive, stages T1-T3, N0-N1) without spread to distant organs.
- Your breast size is cup C or smaller, with minimal sagging.
- You are interested in having the surgery through a single small incision, using robotic or endoscopic tools to spare the nipple.
- You could also be eligible if you are choosing preventive removal of the breast (prophylactic mastectomy).
- You must be healthy enough to undergo surgery and sign a consent form.

This trial looks back at medical records to compare two types of breast-conserving surgery (robot-assisted vs. endoscopic) for women with early-stage breast cancer. It's for women who are good candidates for keeping their breast and who want a less invasive surgical option.
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 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 trial looks at whether a robotic technique for nipple-sparing mastectomy is safe and practical to do. It may help your care team understand whether this approach works well for people who are candidates for nipple-sparing surgery.
This trial tests a robotic-assisted surgery technique for women who need a mastectomy but can keep their skin and nipple. It aims to improve outcomes for breast cancer patients and those at high risk.
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.
