Background: When performing conservative surgery for breast cancer, breast reshaping can be a challenging procedure. Level 1 oncoplastic surgery (OPS) techniques, i.e. advancement or rotation of glandular flaps, should be performed when less than 20 per cent breast volume is excised. Objective: A new Level 1 OPS technique is described. A wide centro-lateral glandular flap is created after extensive undermining of the skin and nipple-areolar complex, and rotated into the cavity. Discussion: This rotation glandular flap is a new technique for use following a wide excision, in glandular, not fatty, breasts, and when standard closure of the cavity would not leave a satisfactory cosmetic result.
