Endoscopic and robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction
Official title: Prospective Cohort Study of Minimally Invasive Surgery Versus Traditional Open Surgery for Nipple Areola Preserving Mastectomy Combined with Immediate Prosthesis Reconstruction
Run by Peking University People's Hospital · NCT06748677 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new type of breast surgery that uses advanced techniques to remove cancer while keeping the nipple and immediately placing an implant to see if it helps patients feel better about their appearance and recover well.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer (stage 0-IIIB) who are eligible for nipple-sparing mastectomy and immediate reconstruction.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with metastatic breast cancer, bilateral breast cancer, or those who have previously undergone breast-conserving surgery may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study focuses on evaluating the safety and aesthetic outcomes of endoscopic and robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) combined with immediate prosthesis breast reconstruction for patients with early-stage breast cancer. It aims to gather large-scale prospective data to support the effectiveness of this surgical approach, which is designed to minimize physical and psychological trauma associated with breast cancer surgery. Patients will be monitored postoperatively and asked to complete Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) questionnaires to assess their satisfaction and recovery.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve the quality of life and aesthetic outcomes for patients undergoing mastectomy.
How similar studies have gone: Previous literature suggests that similar approaches have shown promising results, but large-scale prospective data is still lacking.
