A Novel Level 1 Oncoplastic Technique for Breast Conserving Surgery: The Rhomboid Rotation Glandular Flap

Abstract

OPS techniques have many advantages over standard lumpectomies. They allow for immediate breast reshaping, helping to eliminate postoperative defects, and they offer wider resection possibilities. Level I OPS techniques are those employed when less than 20% of the breast volume is excised, and no mammoplasty is needed for reshaping. In this article, we present a level-1 rhomboid glandular rotational flaps (GRF) that can effectively treat any quadrant defect that involves excision of less than 20% of the breast volume in select patients. This paper provides details on patient selection, surgical technique, and potential complications associated with this procedure.
