Background

Robotic-assisted surgical platforms are now routinely utilized in numerous surgical specialties.

Methods

This study retrospectively analyzed data from all patients who received robotic breast-conserving surgery at a single medical center during the period from March 2024 to December 2025.

n = 88 individuals

1.1%

Results

1.1%

surgery left cancer at the cut edge in only 1 in 100 patients

n = 88 individuals

More results

The mean age of patients was 53.6 years.

The mean operative duration was 124.40 ± 36.79 min.

The overall complication rate was 10.2%.

More results

In the Breast Q score results, patients with tumors smaller than 2 cm or tumors located in the upper quadrant had higher postoperative satisfaction with breasts and sexual well-being.

Conclusion

Preliminary findings suggest that this surgical approach demonstrated the potential to achieve a low incidence of complications, a low positive margin rate and favorable aesthetic outcomes.
