Conditions
Brief summary
This is a pilot study to determine safety, efficacy, and potential risks of robot assisted nipple sparing mastectomy (RNSM), by utilizing the daVinci surgical system.
Detailed description
With the advances of breast reconstruction after mastectomy for the treatment of breast diseases including breast cancer, surgical techniques have evolved to preserve the skin flaps and nipple areolar complex (NAC) to give better aesthetic outcome without compromising outcome. Mastectomy that preserves the NAC is called nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM). NSM can provide major psychosocial benefits for patients but is technically demanding and challenging to perform. Total mammary glandular excision in NSM can be technically challenging due to small size of the incision and poor visualization of dissection plane. Recent studies demonstrate feasibility and safety of performing minimally invasive robot-assisted NSM (RNSM). The technique of RNSM is still novel. This is a single-arm pilot study for feasibility and safety of RNSM.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Perioperative Outcomes investigating the length of hospitalization | Up to 1 year | Investigate the length of hospitalization for each patient |
| Complication rate of patients with Mastectomy flap (SKIN flap score) | Up to 1 year | Number of patients with mastectomy flap or nipple-areolar complex necrosis as measured using the SKIN flap score after surgery. Score of A1 indicates normal skin, D4 indicates total full thickness necrosis. |
| Perioperative Outcomes investigating the total duration of surgical time | Up to 1 year | Investigate the total duration of the operation (surgical time data), |
| Perioperative Outcomes investigating length of surgery time | Up to 1 year | Investigate the total duration of the operation (surgical time data) of each patient |
| Feasibility of removal of breast gland en bloc through RNSM | Up to 1 year | Measure number of patients who had breast removed en bloc through RNSM incision. |
| Complication rate of patients with bleeding requiring re-operation | Up to 1 year | Number of patients with bleeding requiring re-operation after RNSM. |
| Complication rate of patients with infection requiring antibiotics or re-operation | Up to 1 year | Number of patients with infection after surgery requiring antibiotics or re-operation. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Surgeon musculoskeletal fatigue with RNSM using NMSQ questionnaire | Up to 1 year | Musculo-Skeletal Questionnaire (NMSQ) from each surgeon performing surgery. |
| Patient Reported Outcomes | Up to 1 year | Monofilament testing to test for sensation recovery after surgery from each participant. Semmes Weinstein monofilament exam; sensation to series of monofilament with different thickness, compare sensation to preoperative exam. |
