Impact of tumor-to-nipple distance on outcomes in robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy and reconstruction
RNSM is a safe and feasible option for patients with TND ≤ 1 cm, achieving oncologic outcomes comparable to CNSM in patients with TND ≤ 1 cm and RNSM in patients with TND > 1 cm. These findings suggest that TND ≤ 1 cm should not be a contraindication for RNSM. Further prospective studies with long-term follow-up are necessary to validate these results.
