Clinical Trial: Evaluation of Wellbeing and Patient Reported Outcomes After Open vs Robotic Mastectomy With DIEP Reconstruction

U.S., Nov. 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07230535) titled 'Evaluation of Wellbeing and Patient Reported Outcomes After Open vs Robotic Mastectomy With DIEP Reconstruction' on Nov. 13.

Brief Summary: Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) preserves the nipple-areolar complex (NAC) and can improve cosmetic outcomes, body image and patient satisfaction. It is increasingly used for risk-reducing surgery, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), and early breast cancer where the NAC is not involved. Studies indicate that NSM is oncologically safe in appropriately selected patients, although careful surgical and pathological assessment is required to minimise the risk of residual disease.
