NCT ID NCT07230535
First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study compares two types of nipple-sparing mastectomy (keeping the nipple) for women with breast cancer or high genetic risk: one done with a robot through a single small cut, and the other with standard open surgery. All participants will also have immediate breast reconstruction using their own tissue (DIEP flap). The goal is to see which approach leads to better patient satisfaction, body image, and quality of life one year after surgery. About 250 women will take part across multiple hospitals in Ireland.
