title: What's new in plastic surgery?
abstract: A review is made of the latest developments in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery. The subspecialty divisions are more pronounced in the modern era, but are still linked by a unified approach to soft-tissue management. Although cornerstone areas such as microsurgery have seen refinement, other fields, including aesthetic surgery, have been totally redefined by laser technology and the spread of endoscopic techniques.
