Breast cancer remains a significant concern worldwide, particularly in India, with an increasing number of younger women affected. While cancer control and reducing recurrence risk are priorities, mastectomy sometimes becomes unavoidable. This can negatively impact women's self-image and cause emotional trauma.

In a groundbreaking development, Marengo CIMS Hospital in Ahmedabad has performed the region's first robot-assisted breast cancer surgery. This minimally invasive technique offers nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction, allowing some women to undergo breast removal surgery while maintaining their natural breast form and sensations.

A 1st Robot Assisted Nipple - Sparing Mastectomy was performed under the supervision of Dr Anagha Zope - Senior Breast Oncoplastic Surgeon, Marengo CIMS Hospitals, Ahmedabad.
