Endoscope‐Assisted Nipple‐Sparing Mastectomy With Immediate Implant Reconstruction: A Retrospective Study

Key Points

This study investigates the safety and effectiveness of endoscope-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy compared to conventional techniques.
Conducted a retrospective analysis of surgical outcomes
Compared endoscope-assisted techniques with traditional open methods
Evaluated perioperative safety and patient satisfaction
Endoscope-assisted method demonstrated similar safety compared to conventional techniques
No difference in oncological radicality was observed
Patients reported higher satisfaction due to improved aesthetic outcomes

Abstract

Endoscope-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate prosthetic reconstruction is not inferior to conventional open techniques regarding perioperative safety, oncological radicality, and multidimensional patient satisfaction metrics. This approach provides enhanced aesthetic outcomes through minimized cutaneous trauma.
