Small Animal Wound Management and Reconstructive Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

Reconstructive surgery can be used for management after neoplastic asportation or for wound management. It may include cutaneous surgery, the use of titanium mesh for head and neck reconstruction or the use of polypropylene mesh for large defects of the thoracic or abdominal walls. This Special Issue aims to provide selected contributions on basic and advanced surgery techniques in reconstructive surgery.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to: reconstructed abdominal walls; reconstructed thoracic walls; reconstructive head and neck surgery; tubular flap; use of myocutaneous flaps; use of titanium mesh; use of polypropylene mesh; vascular flap; prospective uses of titanium 3D printing.
