Single-port robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy (SP-RNSM) is an advanced surgical technique that improves both physical and emotional outcomes for patients undergoing breast cancer or preventative mastectomies. By accessing the breast through a small incision in the armpit, this approach avoids cutting the breast skin, helping preserve nerve function and allowing many patients to retain partial sensation. It also delivers superior cosmetic results, leaving little to no visible scarring and creating an ideal foundation for immediate reconstruction. The precision of the single-port robotic system enhances safety by protecting blood supply to the skin and nipple, reducing complications and supporting faster recovery. Best suited for select patients based on cancer stage, anatomy, and overall health, SP-RNSM represents a significant step forward through its combination of minimally invasive technique, improved aesthetics, and collaborative reconstruction options.
