Endoscopic skin-sparing mastectomy: Endoscopic skin-sparing mastectomy (E-SSM). Under endoscopic assistance, the breast skin and partial subcutaneous tissue are preserved, while the breast parenchyma, and nipple-areola complex are resected according to oncological principles. This approach aims to maintain breast envelope integrity while ensuring oncological safety.
Conventional mastectomy: Conventional mastectomy (CM). The breast tissue, nipple-areola complex, and a full thickness of skin and subcutaneous tissue within the traditional resection range are removed. This is the standard surgical approach for breast cancer.
This randomized, open-label study compares endoscopic skin-sparing mastectomy (E-SSM) with conventional mastectomy (CM) in female patients with unilateral invasive breast cancer (T1-4aN0-3M0). The primary objective is to evaluate differences in postoperative wound complications and patient satisfaction, with secondary outcomes including breast appearance and oncological safety.
Eligible patients have a breast volume ≤ cup C and no/mild ptosis (grade I-II). A total of 258 participants (129 per group) will be enrolled across multiple centers and randomized by site.
This study aims to provide evidence for selecting optimal endoscopic surgical strategies, address the evidence gap for E-SSM without immediate reconstruction, and advance the precision of breast cancer surgery.
