Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Immediate breast reconstruction after breast cancer is known to improve the quality of life and survival in breast cancer patients. Multiple implant-based and autologous options for breast reconstruction after mastectomy are utilized today, as well as oncoplastic reconstruction techniques, during breast-conserving surgery. Reconstructive breast surgery continues to evolve as we strive to further minimize complications and optimize outcomes with these procedures. Furthermore, several areas of debate still exist in both spaces with regard to surgical decision-making and the choice of the optimal technique. This Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine reviews the “Current State of the Art in Breast Reconstruction”, focusing on contemporary gold standards in implant-based and autologous breast reconstruction, recent surgical advancements, new technology, current controversies, and future directions as we strive to continue to push this specialty forward.
