Robotic Technologies in the Treatment of Breast Cancer

Abstract

In recent years, there has been a tendency to reduce the volume of surgical intervention in breast cancer in full compliance with the requirements of oncologic radicalism. The abandonment of aggressive surgical treatment, used for many years, is explained, first of all, by the significant success of early diagnosis of breast cancer and the natural increase in the number of patients with early stages of the disease. Robot-assisted radical subcutaneous mastectomy with single-stage endoprosthesis proved to be a feasible and safe method. In all known studies, the surgery has a low conversion rate, a reasonable learning curve and a low complication rate. This technique allows to obtain excellent esthetic results.
