Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the feasibility and safety of the Endoscopic Nipple Sparing Mastectomy (E-NSM) technique for women at high risk of breast cancer, focusing on performing the surgery with minimal incisions and immediate reconstruction.
- A total of 10 patients underwent the procedure with a complete success rate, showing only a small percentage of complications, primarily minor issues like skin necrosis and hematomas.
- Patients reported high satisfaction with the esthetic results, leading to a recommendation for the technique; however, further research involving a larger patient group is needed for validation.
