Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to invite submissions to this Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine focused on ‘Innovations in Microsurgical Reconstruction: Bridging Challenges in Breast and Limb Reconstruction’. Microsurgical techniques have revolutionized reconstructive surgery, significantly advancing the management of complex defects arising from oncological resection, trauma, and chronic wounds. This Special Issue aims to highlight groundbreaking research and clinical innovations that enhance reconstructive outcomes, patient quality of life, and surgical efficiency.
We welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and innovative surgical techniques that explore recent advances in breast and limb reconstruction. Areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel microsurgical flap techniques and refinements;
- Enhancements in breast reconstruction, including DIEP flap and other perforator flaps;
- Innovations in diabetic foot and limb salvage;
- Emerging technologies in tissue engineering and cell therapy;
- Strategies for improved wound healing and scar minimization;
- Translational research bridging laboratory findings and clinical practice.
Your contributions will be instrumental in shaping the future of reconstructive surgery and improving patient care.
We look forward to receiving your valuable submissions.
Warm regards,
Prof. Dr. Gordon K. Lee
Dr. Sik Namgoong
