Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Acquired and congenital craniofacial deformities carry significant morbidity for affected patients. Evolution in treatment has resulted in improved functional and aesthetic outcomes for affected patients. Nevertheless, it is well established that patients who do not receive appropriate or timely treatment are at significantly increased risk for lifelong morbidity and sequelae resulting from these conditions. With improved understanding of surgical anatomy, perioperative factors impacting patient outcomes, the importance of multidisciplinary treatment and access to care, craniofacial surgical education, and surgical technological advancements, the field is currently poised to refine and further optimize care for patients affected by craniofacial deformities more than at any previous point. In this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit manuscripts including clinical advances in craniofacial reconstructive surgery, as well as future directions in the field.
Dr. Rami S. Kantar
