Brief Summary

Robotic mastectomy with immediate reconstruction was introduced by Toesca et al. in 2015. Since then, several studies have reported the safety and feasibility of robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. However, most studies were conducted by single centers and had small samples. Furthermore, there is a lack of studies comparing surgical and oncologic outcomes between robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy and conventional nipple-sparing mastectomy. For this reason, this study evaluates surgical and oncologic outcomes of robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction using international multi-center data.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Postoperative complication rates in 30 days

    Postoperative complication rates are calculated as total number of postoperative complication cases per total operation cases.

    Postoperative 30 days

  • Clavien-Dindo grade of postoperative complications

    Clavien-Dindo grade of postoperative complications is evaluated. The highest grade of postoperative complications are used for the analysis.

    Postoperative 30 days

  • Nipple necrosis rates

    Nipple necrosis rates are calculated as number of total nipple necrosis cases per total operation cases.

    Postoperative 30 days

  • Recurrence free survival (RFS)

    Events of RFS includes locoregional recurrence, distant recurrence, and death. Contralateral breast cancer and second primary malignancy are considered to be censored data.

    Postoperative 5 years

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Operation times

    Time during operation

  • Locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRFS)

    Postoperative 5 years

Study Arms (2)

Robotic nipple sparing mastectomy group/RNSM

Cases or Patients who underwent robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy and immediate reconstruction are enrolled in this arm. Robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy should be performed using robotic surgical systems. Robotic surgical systems include da Vinci S,Si, X, Xi, and SP systems. Axillary or lateral incisions are used for this procedure. Immediate reconstruction includes tissue expander insertion, direct-to-implant, latissimus dorsi flap, transverse abdominis rectus muscle flap, or deep inferior epigastric perforators flap. Cases with robotic mastectomy without immediate reconstruction are excluded. The estimated sample size for this arm is 300 cases.

Procedure: Robotic nipple sparing mastectomy

Conventional nipple sparing mastectomy group/CNSM

Cases or Patients who underwent conventional nipple-sparing mastectomy and immediate reconstruction are enrolled in this arm. Conventional nipple-sparing mastectomy should not be performed using robotic or endoscopic surgical systems. Axillary or lateral incisions that are similar to incisions in robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy are not allowed. Other than axillary or lateral incisions can be performed for this procedure. Immediate reconstruction includes tissue expander insertion, direct-to-implant, latissimus dorsi flap, transverse abdominis rectus muscle flap, or deep inferior epigastric perforators flap. Cases with nipple-sparing mastectomy without immediate reconstruction are excluded. The estimated sample size for this arm is 300 cases.

Interventions

Robotic nipple sparing mastectomy means nipple sparing mastectomy performed using robotic surgical systems.

Also known as: Robot-assisted nipple sparing mastectomy, Robot mastectomy, Robotic mastectomy, Hybrid robotic nipple sparing mastectomy, Robot-assisted nipple areolar complex and skin sparing mastectomy
