Robotic Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy at UT Southwestern
When Renee Mallonee found out she was BRCA2 positive and her lifetime risk of breast cancer was high, she took this news very seriously. After 15 years of screenings and tests every 6 months, she turned to UT Southwestern for a prophylactic mastectomy. Her surgical oncologist, Deborah Farr, M.D., and plastic surgeon, Nicholas Haddock, M.D., presented her with the option of a robotic mastectomy, which offers smaller incisions and improved sensation, as compared to traditional mastectomy, and UT Southwestern was the first hospital in the United States to perform a single port robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy.
