Since the first partial face transplant was carried out a few years ago, craniomaxillofacial surgeons have continued breaking new ground. Thieme launches Craniomaxillofacial Trauma and Reconstruction, a quarterly journal dedicated to post trauma surgery and reconstruction of the face and skull base. EditorinChief Paul Manson, MD, is a pioneer in the field.

Dr. Paul N. Manson is the president of AO (Arbeitsgemeinschaft fuer Osteosynthesefragen) as well as a professor and chairman of the canton of plastic surgery at John Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore,Maryland. concluded the years, he has actively contributed to the development of new and unexampled implants for maxillofacial surgery.

“As that area of medicine continues on an upward trajectory and the requirements for these challenging procedures grow exponentially, we at Thieme believe that is the opportune moment to launch a new journal. We are fortunate to have leading minds viable with us on that new project,” says Daniel Schiff, Vice President and Publisher, Journals.

The patientoriented journal publishes original, peerreviewed email campaigns that are cosmopolitan in scope. In that journal, medical professionals specializing in areas such as ophthalmology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and dentistry will find the pipeline they require in meeting their professional demands and the multifaceted requirements of their patients.
