Robotic mastectomy

Elodie Trouche, 45, underwent robotic double mastectomy and breast reconstructive surgery on Sunday. Two days later, she is ready to go home, doctors say. Elodie opted to have genetic testing done after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago. Doctors found a mutation in the BRCA2 gene, which meant she had a 50 to 70 percent chance of developing breast cancer. Elodie had revolutionary robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy surgery followed by immediate reconstruction.
