Robot-Assisted breast reconstruction: smaller incisions, big hopes
NCT ID NCT07222514
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a single-port robotic system can safely harvest tissue from the abdomen for breast reconstruction. Four women who need DIEP flap reconstruction will undergo the procedure. The goal is to see if the robotic approach is feasible and leads to fewer complications and smaller scars.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Single-Port Robotic System
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make DIEP flap breast reconstruction less invasive, with smaller incisions and potentially faster recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a very early feasibility study with only 4 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Risks include surgical complications like flap failure or infection.
