European Journal of Plastic Surgery

Aims & Scope

Europe has always been an area of dynamic development in plastic surgery.

Its great strength has been the lack of uniformity of this development due to differing cultures, different traditions, and differing medical and surgical philosophies.

Over the recent years, these changes have been even more striking and rapid.

The European Journal of Plastic Surgery creates a focal point for the input of new advances in clinical techniques and in research.

It thus becomes an educational vehicle.

In addition to this, the journal provides information on what is going on elsewhere in the world, and it is also willing to accept contributions from outside of Europe.

Fields of interest include general plastic and reconstructive surgery, head and neck surgery, aesthetic and craniofacial surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery, treatment of bones, trauma, burn management and basic research related to all aspects of plastic surgery.
