Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery—Global Open (PRS Global Open) is an open access, peer-reviewed, international journal focusing on global plastic and reconstructive surgery. PRS Global Open publishes on all areas of plastic and reconstructive surgery, including basic science/experimental studies pertinent to the field and clinical articles on such topics as breast reconstruction, head and neck surgery, pediatric and craniofacial surgery, hand and microsurgery, wound healing, and cosmetic and aesthetic surgery. PRS Global Open welcomes all types of submissions—Clinical studies, experimental articles, ideas and innovations, viewpoints, techniques, operative videos, and case reports.

Manuscript submission is open to all surgeons, researchers, and other healthcare providers worldwide who wish to communicate their research results on topics related to plastic and reconstructive surgery. Furthermore, PRS Global Open, a complimentary journal to Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, provides an open access venue for the publication of those research studies sponsored by private and public funding agencies that require open access publication of study results. Its mission is to disseminate high quality, peer reviewed research in plastic and reconstructive surgery to the widest possible global audience through an open access platform. As an open access journal, PRS Global Open offers its content for free to any viewer. Authors of articles retain their copyright to the materials published. Additionally, PRS Global Open provides rapid review and publication of accepted papers.

PRS Global Open serves the international plastic surgery community, including surgeons, healthcare providers, and patients alike. We encourage international researchers to submit to the journal in order to advance patient safety, improve surgical and procedural outcomes, and elevate the science of plastic surgery worldwide. PRS Global Open serves the overall mission of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons®, owner of the journal: it educates and supports plastic surgeons globally to provide the highest quality patient care and maintain professional and ethical standards through education, research, and advocacy.
