Robotic mastectomy advancements in Florida

Overview

A surgeon in Central Florida, Dr. Davina McCray of AdventHealth, is scheduled to perform the region’s first robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy. This advanced technique uses an articulating console camera and smaller incisions to allow for more precise tissue removal.

By utilizing a robotic approach, the procedure aims to preserve critical nerve sensation and blood flow, which traditional methods may compromise through longer incisions. The goal of this precision is to improve aesthetic outcomes during reconstruction and enhance the quality of life for breast cancer survivors.
