Minimal access nipple-sparing mastectomy (M-NSM), performed with endoscopic systems or with surgical robot assistance, is a novel alternative to the classic approach to nipple-sparing mastectomies. Leading advancements in M-NSM have primarily come from Asia. We gather experts' opinions from six European countries to establish the current status of M-NSM in Europe. An eight-question survey was designed to explore M-NSM's historical background and current standing in various local settings. We collected data from 6 European countries, including Italy, Spain, France, Switzerland, Belgium, and Poland. The number of centers offering M-NSM procedures in each reported country ranges 1-9. The number of procedures performed annually in four centers exceeds 10. In all reported countries, current national breast cancer recommendations do not include M-NSM, and this procedure is not explicitly covered by any of the national health care providers. All experts have indicated the need for training in M-NSM surgery as a primary way to incorporate these techniques as a standard procedure. Minimal access nipple-sparing mastectomy is still a tool used by a narrow group of specialists in Europe. The main obstacle to broader implementation remains the extra cost of M-NSM, which requires reimbursement from the health care providers. Training courses, data collection, and demonstration of its benefits are the key to promoting M-NSM among breast surgeons and patients.
采用内镜系统或手术机器人辅助进行的微创保乳手术(M-NSM)是经典保乳手术方法的一种新选择。M-NSM的主要进展主要来自亚洲。我们收集了来自六个欧洲国家专家的意见,以确定M-NSM在欧洲的现状。设计了一份包含八个问题的调查问卷,以探究M-NSM的历史背景及其在不同地区的现状。我们收集了来自意大利、西班牙、法国、瑞士、比利时和波兰这六个欧洲国家的数据。每个报告国家中提供M-NSM手术的中心数量在1至9个之间。四个中心每年进行的手术数量超过10例。在所有报告的国家中,当前国家乳腺癌治疗建议均未包括M-NSM,且该手术未被任何国家医疗服务提供者明确涵盖。所有专家均表示,需要进行M-NSM手术培训,这是将这些技术纳入标准手术的主要途径。微创保乳手术在欧洲仍然是一小部分专家使用的技术。更广泛应用的主要障碍仍然是M-NSM的额外费用,这需要医疗服务提供者给予报销。培训课程、数据收集以及证明其益处是在乳腺外科医生和患者中推广M-NSM的关键。
