Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine titled “Current State of Breast Reconstruction”, dedicated to exploring advancements and challenges in breast reconstruction techniques. With the growing demand for both implant-based and autologous tissue reconstruction, this issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in surgical techniques, including the use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM), and methods to enhance patient outcomes.
We invite submissions focusing on innovative approaches to improve surgical precision and minimize complications. Studies on techniques to optimize the use of ADM in reconstruction, as well as research on reducing common complications such as infections, seromas, and capsular contracture, are particularly welcome. We also encourage papers on the evaluation of long-term patient satisfaction, esthetic results, and quality of life following reconstruction, which will help shape future standards of care.
This Special Issue seeks to serve as a platform for clinicians and researchers to share knowledge and contribute to the evolving landscape of breast reconstruction, ultimately improving patient outcomes in breast cancer recovery.
Dr. Il-Kug Kim
Guest Editor
