Story summary

Apollo Hospitals in Navi Mumbai performed a robotic-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy on a 53-year-old patient with invasive breast carcinoma.
The tumor was removed through a small incision while preserving the breast's natural appearance.
The patient underwent immediate reconstruction with a silicone implant and Acellular Dermal Matrix to restore shape.
This minimally invasive approach reduces scarring, pain, and recovery time versus traditional mastectomy, and Apollo Hospitals emphasizes early diagnosis.
