Robotic and endoscopic mastectomy are advanced, minimally invasive surgical techniques for the treatment of breast cancer and for risk-reducing breast surgery in high-risk women.
What Is Robotic / Endoscopic Mastectomy?
Unlike conventional mastectomy, which involves a larger incision on the breast, robotic or endoscopic mastectomy is performed through a small incision, usually hidden in the axilla (underarm) or along the natural skin crease.
Using a high-definition camera and specialized instruments (robot-assisted or endoscopic), we precisely remove the breast tissue while protecting the skin, nipple-areola complex
Who Can Benefit From This Surgery?
• Selected early-stage breast cancer patients
• Women undergoing nipple-sparing mastectomy
• High-risk women opting for prophylactic (risk-reducing) mastectomy
• Patients concerned about cosmesis and body image(Final suitability is decided after detailed clinical evaluation and imaging.)
Advantages
• Smaller, hidden scars
• Better cosmetic outcome
• Reduced tissue trauma
• Improved visualization and precision
• Faster recovery in selected patients
• Excellent option when combined with immediate breast reconstruction
Is Cancer Safety Compromised?
Absolutely not.
When performed in appropriately selected patients, robotic and endoscopic mastectomy follow the same oncological principles as conventional surgery. Cancer clearance and long-term outcomes are comparable, while offering superior cosmetic results.
Breast Reconstruction
One of the major advantages of this approach is its compatibility with immediate breast reconstruction using implants or autologous tissue, helping women wake up with a breast shape in place.
Recovery
• Hospital stay is usually short
• Early mobilization
• Return to routine activities is often quicker compared to traditional surgery
• Follow-up care remains the same as standard breast cancer treatment
Our Approach
Every patient is unique. At our center, the decision for robotic or endoscopic mastectomy is made through a multidisciplinary tumor board discussion, ensuring the best oncological safety, cosmetic outcome, and quality of life.
