Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Head and neck reconstructive surgery represents a difficult challenge. Tumors, trauma, or other pathologies that cause mutilation of facial structures, even if small in size, can cause a significant reduction in the quality of life of patients. For this reason, reconstructive, plastic, and aesthetic surgery of the face is a discipline in continuous evolution. The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect articles focusing on recent advancements in both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery as well as treatment approaches trying to improve aesthetic and functional outcomes after reconstruction. A special section will be reserved for reconstructions of the oral cavity and oropharynx with particular attention to evaluating the functional outcomes of the surgical techniques.
