Aims & Scope

The European Journal of Plastic Surgery is a forum for advancements in clinical techniques and research in plastic surgery within Europe and globally. Europe has long been an area of dynamic development in plastic surgery, adapting to differing cultures, traditions, and medical and surgical philosophies. Recently, these changes have been even more striking and rapid. In response, the journal creates a focal point for discussing novel developments in plastic surgery. Topics include plastic and reconstructive surgery, head and neck surgery, aesthetic and craniofacial surgery, miscrosurgery, trauma, and burn management.
