About the Journal

Predecessor of the Journal

Since the mid-20th century, the medical model has undergone significant changes. Surgical treatments are now expected not only to cure diseases but also to restore the function and normal appearance of affected body parts. This is both what patients desire and what clinicians aim to achieve. In 1987, the pioneers of Chinese prosthetic and reconstructive surgery, led by Academician Disheng Zhang and Professor Zhiming Yang, established the first academic journal in this field in China, titled the Journal of Repair and Reconstruction Surgery, with the goal of achieving "perfect integration of structure, function, and appearance." In 1992, the journal was renamed Chinese Journal of Reparative and Reconstructive Surgery.
