In the researchers' words

Robotic mastectomy and immediate reconstruction have been introduced in 2015. However, since robotic mastectomy is the latest surgical technique, there is a lack of studies prospectively comparing conventional mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with robotic mastectomy. For this reason, this study is designed to establish a single institution cohort study that prospectively collects patients undergoing mastectomy and reconstruction. This study was initially designed as a single institution study, however, currently, the study was extended to the multicenter study including 18 institutions over the country. Using the established prospective cohort data, a comparative study of robotic mastectomy with conventional mastectomy and reconstruction, and cost-effectiveness and satisfaction of robotic endoscopic surgery, and cost-effectiveness and satisfaction of reconstructive surgery are to be analyzed.
