Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Personalized surgery within the field of plastic surgery is a method that involves customizing surgical plans based on each patient's unique anatomy, disease state, and personal expectations. With the advancement of medical technology, especially 3D printing technology, computer-aided design, and image-guided surgery, personalized surgical planning has become possible, greatly improving the accuracy and effectiveness of plastic surgery.
Through the detailed evaluation and simulation of preoperative imaging, doctors can more accurately predict postoperative effects and work with patients to decide on the most appropriate treatment plan. Personalized implants or grafts provide patients with tissue defects from trauma, tumor resection, or other sources with a better chance of recovery.
In addition, understanding the patient's characteristics and clinical information can help doctors predict the individual's response to surgery, thereby optimizing treatment strategies and reducing the risk of complications. In the future, with the advancement of biomaterials science and regenerative medicine, personalized surgery is expected to develop further and provide patients with safer and more effective treatment options.
We look forward to the submission of articles, reviews, and other types of manuscripts.
