This study aimed to share the authors’ preliminary experience with
endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy in the Philippines. All medical
records of patients who underwent endoscopic mastectomy done by
the same surgeons in two institutions from March to October 2019
were collected and analyzed. Surgical margin, operating time, blood
loss volume, and post-operative complications were noted. Three
cases were recorded during the study period. The mean operative
time was 341 minutes and the mean blood loss volume was < 20 mL.
All cases had negative margins of resection on final histopathology.
One patient developed ecchymosis on the axilla, while the other
patients had unremarkable post-operative courses. Endoscopic nipplesparing mastectomy is a potentially safe and feasible alternative in
breast cancer management. Further evaluation of the procedure is
recommended.
