Smaller Scars, More Choices: Robotic Breast Cancer Surgery
Episode 142
Tuesday, 27 October, 2026
A nipple-sparing mastectomy removes the breast tissue but keeps the skin, nipple and areola, and reconstruction happens in the same operation. With the robotic approach, the surgeon works from a console. Robotic instruments and a 3D camera go in through a one-inch incision hidden along the side of the breast, compared with about five inches in traditional surgery. The magnified view helps limit blood loss and protect the nerves that provide feeling. Hospitals without a robot can use a second option, the endoscopic approach, which uses standard laparoscopic tools through the same small incision. The procedure may suit women with early-stage cancer or a high risk of breast cancer. Dr. Valente's reminder is to get your mammograms, since finding cancer early opens the door to more options.
