On Tuesday, October 7, watch surgeons from University Hospitals Case Medical Center perform a nipple sparing mastectomy with complete reconstruction.
This breast-preserving procedure provides patients undergoing mastectomy with an excellent cosmetic outcome. Julian Kim, MD, FACS, and Hooman Soltanian, MD, will be available during this interactive panel discussion to answer any viewer questions.
Dr. Kim relates, "This is a procedure that has been tried by a handful of surgeons over the past six or seven years, but it is a highly specialized procedure that results in a very nice cosmetic outcome because the breast retains its natural shape and appearance."

Nipple Conserving Surgery
posted by Ellie on 30 Sep 2008 at 5:12 pmThis article gives me hope...After a lumpectomy for breast cancer in 2006, I wish this had been available to me. What I am left with is the side of my breast missing. Too many women (me in my early 50's) are left disfigured from these barbaric surgeries. I'm glad to see inroads are being made to help give women better alternatives.
