Experience-Based Procedure Card for Robot-Assisted Nipple Sparing Mastectomy Using the SSI Mantra, Indian Robotic Surgical System
S. P. Somashekar, Medha Sugara, Rohit Kumar C Abstract
The SSI MANTRA™ (Sudhir Srivastava Innovations Pvt. Ltd, Haryana, India) robotic surgical system developed in India has been used to perform various complex procedures of the abdomen and thorax. The robot-assisted nipple sparing mastectomy (RANSM) described by Toesca et al. is different from these procedures because it utilizes a confined working space created in the soft tissue of the breast and has been described on the da Vinci Intuitive Surgical System. We performed the procedure of RANSM in a woman with early breast cancer using the SSI MANTRA™ and found it feasible. Case selection, docking, and surgical technique are described here.
