About this trial
Aim of this trial is to verify whether the patients' quality of life can be improved by a less invasive surgical procedure and whether the use of robotic technique for nipple-sparing mastectomy associated to prepectoral direct implant procedure can impact on perioperative and postoperative period and on oncologic outcome.
