First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is testing a new surgical technique for breast reconstruction after mastectomy in women with early-stage breast cancer. The approach combines endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate fat grafting, all done through a small incision in the armpit. Researchers want to see if this method improves patient satisfaction and quality of life while reducing complications. Twenty women will take part and be followed for one year.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate multistage autologous fat grafting

What this could lead to

If successful, this technique could offer women a less invasive breast reconstruction option with better cosmetic results and fewer scars after mastectomy.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early-stage study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. There are risks of surgical complications like infection, bleeding, or fat graft failure.
