Breast cancer surgery has greatly changed over the past decades; nowadays skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) and immediate reconstruction is considered a valid oncological option to achieve good aesthetic results. The success of SSM led to several studies aimed to investigate NAC involvement whose removal increases the patient's sense of mutilation. In this study the Authors investigate the incidence of recurrences in nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM) comparing it with the other techniques to assess the actual risk of tumor involvement of the NAC; besides, they analyse the patients' satisfaction and the NSM impact on quality of life through the utilization of a questionnaire. Clinical complications, aesthetic as well as oncological and psychological results have been analysed. They conclude that in selected cases NSM can be performed without additional risks because the incidence of recurrence after NSM is similar to that of radical mastectomy. Moreover, the aesthetic and psychological outcome are considered positive by the patients.

Background: Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is infrequently performed in older women, at least in part owing to concerns regarding age-related complications. We describe postoperative outcomes of NSM in older women and risk factors for complications, with the goal of informing patient selection and decision-making.
Patients And Methods: Cases of NSM with immediate implant-based reconstruction were identified from an institutional database (2009-2019).

We investigated the safety and performance of the Da Vinci SP single-port robot (SP robot) in nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) with immediate reconstruction. Medical records of 60 women aged ≥ 19 years who had undergone SP robot-assisted unilateral or bilateral NSM with immediate reconstruction between October 2020 and August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Stage I (31, 47.

Achieving satisfactory nipple esthetics following skin-sparing or nipple-sparing mastectomy is an important element of ensuring positive patient outcomes. Several techniques used to reconstruct the nipple-areolar complex have been described in previous literature and have had success in securing good cosmetic outcomes. For patients with macrothelia, surgeons may employ a number of options in reducing nipple size.

Background: The common techniques used in nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) are hydrodissection (tumescent dissection) and electrocautery. We hypothesized that bipolar scissors (diathermy scissors) would improve surgical outcomes in mastectomy.
Methods: We prospectively compared 50 patients undergoing NSM using the bipolar scissor technique to retrospective data from patients who had previously undergone NSM with hydrodissection (n = 50) or electrocautery (n = 50).
