First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This small pilot study tested whether a robot-assisted surgical system (da Vinci) can safely perform nipple-sparing mastectomy in 4 women with early-stage breast cancer or those needing preventive mastectomy. The goal was to see if the robot could remove breast tissue completely through a small incision while keeping the nipple intact. Researchers also tracked complications like bleeding, infection, and skin healing, as well as surgeon fatigue.
