Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of plastic and reconstructive surgery has perpetually been on the cusp of innovation. Persisently presented with complex problems, the role of plastic and reconstructive surgeons remains two-fold. This objective invovles restoration or improvement in function while simultaneously optimizing the aesthetic form. The pursuit of these dual goals has propelled researchers within the field to think critically and develop creative solutions that foster continual improvement. An improved understanding of anatomy and technological advancements has equipped plastic and reconstructive surgeons with a diverse toolbox. As new techniques and devices emerge, a critical scientific inquiry into surgical outcomes remains an important tenent of the field in order to assess for complications and the longevity of outcomes. In this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit manuscripts that deal with recent trends within various focus areas of plastic and reconstructive surgery.
