Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce a Special Issue of the journal Medicina titled “Current Trends in Breast Reconstructive Surgery”, dedicated to exploring advancements and challenges in breast reconstruction techniques after surgery for breast cancer.
Although the study of breast cancer and its surgical treatment have paved the way for numerous discoveries in the field of oncology, today there are still many emerging technical innovations in reconstructive fields. Indeed, the demand for breast reconstruction is growing and new techniques have been introduced to provide better cosmetic results and increase cancer safety.
In a complex surgical procedure like breast reconstruction, the capacity to prevent postoperative complications by selecting the most-appropriate patient-tailored reconstructive technique would have significant implications for patient satisfaction.
Submissions focusing on innovative approaches to improve surgical outcomes and minimize complication rates are called for. Moreover, papers on the evaluation of patient satisfaction, esthetic results, and quality of life following reconstruction are encouraged.
This Special Issue aims to be a meeting point for physicians and researchers to share knowledge and contribute to the evolution of breast reconstruction techniques, aiming to improve the outcomes and quality of life of patients recovering from breast cancer.
Dr. Daniele Fusario
Guest Editor
