Dear Friends and Colleagues,The field of breast reconstruction surgery is in extremely dynamic stage. Personally I’m inspired by the term “total breast reconstruction” where all the details find their places and a breast cancer patient experiences overall psychophysical healing. In order to accomplish the different needs for various patients there still is plenty of work to be done- not to mention tremendous possibilities in molecular science and technology.

On behalf of the PAR Journal’s Editorial team, it is my great pleasure to invite you to submit your paper(s) to the special issue on “State of the Art in Breast Reconstruction”.

Research should be related to: breast reconstruction techniques with autologous tissues or implants, lymphedema,oncoplastic surgery, skin sparing mastectomy, ADMs in breast reconstructions, perforator flaps in breast reconstructions,fat grafting techniques, life quality after breast reconstruction, sensory nerve lesion and its recovery, donor site issues after breast reconstruction.
