Re: Images for surgeons: Digital thermographic photography ('thermal imaging') for preoperative perforator mapping

摘要

Thank you for the opportunity to reply to the letter by de Weerd et al. "Images for Plastic Surgeons" is a section that in no way aims to claim originality of the concepts discussed. The section was introduced to capture the visual impact and variety of images that plastic surgeons may encounter in their everyday practice. It was not intended as a vehicle for case reports or an easy publication. In fact, the section is part of the broader journal subsection of "Circumspectus Medicinae," which has, from its outset, been an informal vehicle for provocative and new ideas or controversies, and recently images.
