Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Journal of Clinical Medicine’s Editorial Team, we are pleased to present the Second Edition of the Special Issue, “Advancements in Individualized Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery”.
This Special Issue continues to explore the evolving clinical landscape of individualized plastic and reconstructive surgery, with a focus on translating personalized approaches into practical, evidence-based care. In recent years, patient-specific surgical planning and execution have gained momentum, driven by innovations in imaging, microsurgical precision, and biological customization.
This edition aims to highlight clinical research that addresses current challenges, unmet needs, and potential solutions in tailoring reconstructive and esthetic procedures to individual patient profiles. The goal is to improve outcomes, safety, and patient satisfaction through precision-based surgical interventions.
We invite contributions that reflect real-world clinical advancements across a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to individualized soft tissue reconstruction, flap surgery innovations, autologous tissue transplantation, digital surgical planning, and clinical applications of regenerative medicine and biomaterials.
This Special Issue seeks to encourage the sharing of clinical experiences, case series, and outcome-driven research that contribute to the growing evidence base for personalized approaches in plastic and reconstructive surgery. We also welcome interdisciplinary perspectives that integrate surgical technique with imaging, bioengineering, and patient-reported outcomes.
Through this second volume, we aim to advance the clinical understanding of how individualized strategies can transform patient care and outcomes in plastic and reconstructive surgery. We warmly invite clinicians, surgeons, and clinical researchers to contribute their expertise to this important and evolving field.
