It is truly a privilege of essential importance for Thai plastic surgeons and the Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons of Thailand (ThPRS) to join the Archives of Plastic Surgery (APS), as this provides us with the opportunity to share and exchange surgical techniques and new innovations, as well as to update surgical knowledge in plastic surgery at the international level, which will be extremely beneficial for our people and patients.
The ThPRS was founded in 1976, and currently has 450 members and nine training centers. Over the years, the ThPRS has held numerous national and international events and congresses, and its members have submitted many manuscripts for presentation at international meetings to exchange and update surgical knowledge in plastic surgery. Being part of APS will serve as a strong motivation for ThPRS members to conduct research, develop new surgical techniques and innovations, and exchange information on notable cases. I strongly believe that this new important role will mark a new page in the history of our society
In addition, the ThPRS wishes to thank the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons and Prof. Joon Pio Hong, the APS Editor-in-Chief, for the kind invitation to join APS, especially during the ongoing global coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, which has required us all to make tremendous adjustments in plastic surgery throughout the world to cope with it.
On behalf of the ThPRS, we are delighted and honored to be a part ofAPS, an influential journal in the world of plastic surgery. We look forward to close cooperation and promoting knowledge in plastic surgery for the utmost mutual benefit of our peoples. Thank you.
