Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During the past few decades, plastic surgery has experienced tremendous advancements. New techniques have been introduced while new data allow a better understanding of procedures already established. In particular, recently introduced microsurgical options have provided a larger spectrum of free flaps available to permit a more tailored reconstruction, while new technologies have been implemented to allow better flap surveillance and minimize necrosis. New techniques, also possibly combined with newly developed materials, have also permitted easier solutions to complex reconstructive challenges. In the context of aesthetic surgery, new trends have been observed with some procedures gaining increased popularity, such as labia minora reduction and gluteal augmentation. Conversely, well-established procedures have been further developed to ensure better outcomes. Substantial advances have also been made in the fields of burn treatments and in the understanding and treatment of oncologic diseases of plastic surgery interest. The aim of this Special Issue is to present recent advances in the field of plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery. Therefore, researchers in the field of plastic surgery are invited to submit original articles or reviews to this Special Issue (case reports and short reviews are not accepted).
