Safety and Feasibility of Robotic SP Nipple Sparing Mastectomy (NCT05245812)

Safety and Feasibility of Robotic Single-port (SP) Nipple Sparing Mastectomy: A Single Institution, Single Arm Pilot Trial

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic โš™๏ธ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: Deborah Farr, MD

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This is a single arm, single-center, prospective clinical trial designed to track the peri, post-operative and oncologic outcomes when utilizing the da-Vinci single port (SP) robotic platform to perform robotic nipple sparing mastectomy (rNSM) and immediate breast reconstruction with tissue expanders/implants and acellular dermal matrix (ADM - Alloderm), for patients with breast cancer as well as those with a high risk for breast cancer. Safety and feasibility measures will be measured as primary outcome measures. Oncological and patient satisfaction outcome measures will be measured. Our hypothesis is that SPr-NSM is equal to open NSM in terms of safety, feasibility and oncological outcomes with improved patient satisfaction as measured by nipple sensation and patient reported outcomes.
