Abstract

Abstract: A modern perspective on the nipple‐sparing mastectomy (NSM) looking at current indications as well as the most up‐to‐date evidence both in the literature and from our institution. There is an in‐depth description of our NSM technique and an overview of alternative approaches, including the robotic technique. The complicated concept of the learning curve is addressed and ideas on how to train other NSM adopters.
