Article Synopsis
- Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is gaining popularity and is compared to skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) for breast cancer treatments, focusing on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and complication rates.
- A systematic review of 13 studies with 3,895 patients found that while satisfaction scores were high for both procedures, NSM led to better sexual and psychosocial well-being scores compared to SSM.
- Despite the differences in PROs, complication rates were similar for both NSM and SSM, indicating that decisions should consider multiple personal factors and oncologic safety.*
