Read our Breast Neoplasms research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether using cold dissection (scissors or scalpel) versus electrocautery (heat-based cutting) during breast cancer removal surgery leads to better outcomes. Researchers want to see if cold dissection reduces tissue damage and complications while improving how your reconstructed breast looks and feels.
Previous research suggests that the tool surgeons use to remove breast tissue during mastectomy may affect how much the skin and tissue are damaged after surgery. This trial aims to determine which technique—cold dissection or electrocautery—produces fewer complications and better cosmetic results.

If you join this trial, you will undergo nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction. Your surgeon will randomly assign you to one of two groups: one using traditional cold dissection tools (scissors or scalpel) or one using electrocautery (heat-based cutting). Your surgical team will monitor you for complications, tissue damage, and cosmetic outcomes over time after your surgery.
