<ul class="seamTextUnorderedList"> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">A nipple-sparing mastectomy leaves your nipple, areola and the surrounding skin--but removes the breast tissue underneath. </li> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">Nipple-sparing mastectomies can be difficult to perform because they use small incisions (openings). </li> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">Researchers believe that using a robot will make it easier to use small incisions during surgery. </li> <li class="seamTextUnorderedListItem">The robot used in this trial is called the da Vinci surgical system. It is approved for use in other surgeries, but its use in this study is considered experimental.</li></ul>
