Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery

Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery publishes work on rebuilding the body with tissue moved from elsewhere, together with the microsurgical technique that keeps the transfer alive.《Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery》登的是用别处取来的组织重建身体的研究，也登让移植组织成活的那套显微外科技术。

Thieme has published it since 1984, when Berish Strauch founded a title aimed squarely at reconstructive microsurgery and nothing else, a scope the journal still claims for itself.Thieme 从 1984 年起出版这本刊，创办人 Berish Strauch 把它对准重建显微外科一门，不作旁顾，这个范围刊物今天仍认。

Its 2025 impact factor is 2.3, the five-year figure also 2.3, and CiteScore 4.7. In surgery it ranks 105th of 321 titles.2025 年影响因子 2.3，五年值也是 2.3，CiteScore 4.7。在外科类 321 种刊里排第 105 位。

Scope

• Fourteen subject areas are listed on the aims page, and the first of them gives the journal its name. Reconstructive microsurgery is the parent field, with the other thirteen read as places where it is now applied.宗旨页列了十四个学科方向，头一项就是刊名里那一科。重建显微外科是母学科，其余十三项可以读成它眼下落到的地方。

• Breast reconstruction has a heading of its own, covering the move of a patient's own tissue to the chest wall and the flap planning that decides how much of it survives.乳房重建单独成一项，管的是把病人自己的组织移到胸壁，以及决定这块组织能活下来多少的皮瓣设计。

• Cut, crushed and stretched nerves fall to peripheral nerve surgery, which runs from primary repair through grafting to transfers that borrow a working nerve for a lost function.周围神经外科管被切断的神经，也管压伤与拉长的神经，从一期修复到神经移植，再到借一条能用的神经补回失去的功能。

• Lymphatic surgery and lymphedema form the fourth line, a territory that moved in recent decades from compression and massage to lymph node transfer and lymphaticovenous anastomosis.淋巴外科与淋巴水肿是第四块，这个领域近几十年里从压迫与按摩走到了淋巴结移植与淋巴静脉吻合。

• Supermicrosurgery names the size at which the work is done, vessels and lymphatics below a millimetre, where stitch count matters more than the instrument in the surgeon's hand.超显微外科标出的是活儿做的尺寸，管径不到一毫米的血管与淋巴管，针数比手里的器械更要紧。

• Robotic-assisted microsurgery holds a line of its own on that list, one of the later additions, and the one that promises to steady a hand at the smallest calibre.机器人辅助显微外科在名单上独占一行，是后来添进去的几项之一，许诺的是在最细的管子上把手稳住。

• Head and neck reconstruction takes the defects left by tumour surgery, where a free flap has to restore swallowing and speech as well as the outline of the jaw.头颈重建管肿瘤切除后留下的缺损，游离皮瓣在这里既要补回吞咽与说话，也要补回下颌的轮廓。

• Extremity reconstruction and limb salvage are counted separately, one about rebuilding a segment of arm or leg, the other about the decision to keep a limb that elsewhere would come off.肢体重建与保肢分开计，前者讲把一段上肢或下肢补回来，后者讲在别人主张截掉的时候把这条肢体留住。

• Hand surgery brings the oldest part of the specialty back in, since the replantations of the 1960s are what turned reconstructive microsurgery into a clinical field in the first place.手外科把这一行最老的部分带回来，1960 年代的断指再植，正是让重建显微外科成为临床学科的那批病例。

• Perforator flap surgery earned its own line because flap design turned into a matter of dissecting one vessel out of muscle instead of lifting a block with its pedicle attached.穿支皮瓣能单列，是因为皮瓣设计变成了从肌肉里剥出一条血管，不必连蒂带肉挖一整块。

• Targeted muscle reinnervation gets a heading as well, a technique that reroutes severed nerves into spare muscle so a prosthesis can be driven by thought and amputation pain can settle.靶向肌肉神经再支配也有一席，这项技术把截断的神经改接到闲置的肌肉上，假肢能靠意念驱动，残肢痛也有机会缓下来。

• Surgical innovation and technology covers the hardware, from operating microscopes and micro-instruments to imaging that shows a perforator before the incision is made.外科创新与技术接的是器械那一头，从手术显微镜与显微器械，到开刀之前就能看见穿支的影像。

• Translational research sits at the end of the list and holds the bench work on nerve regeneration, flap physiology and biomaterials that has to land before clinical practice moves.转化研究排在末位，神经再生、皮瓣生理与生物材料的台面工作都在这里，临床要改做法，先得有这些结果。

• The aims page names four kinds of content. Original research and reviews sit beside technical advances and educational material, so a reader can find a procedure described without waiting for a trial to be run on it.宗旨页点了四类内容。原创研究与综述旁边是技术进展与教育材料，读者想看一个术式怎么写，不必等有人把它做成试验。

• Authors must follow the ICMJE recommendations on conduct, reporting, editing and publication, and the editorial standard is stated as rigorous review of work with a clinical bearing.作者须按 ICMJE 的建议处理研究行为与报告，也按其口径处理编辑与发表。编辑标准写明的是严格评议，取舍落在临床相关上。

History

• The first issue is dated July 1984, volume 1 number 1, and the founder was Berish Strauch, who still appears on the masthead as Founding Editor.创刊号标的是 1984 年 7 月，第 1 卷第 1 期，创办人是 Berish Strauch，他至今以创刊编辑的身份留在刊头。

• Thieme has published it from the beginning, and the DOI prefix 10.1055 still places the journal at Georg Thieme Verlag. The title-level DOI is 10.1055/s-00000029.Thieme 从创刊起就是出版方，DOI 前缀 10.1055 至今把它记在 Georg Thieme Verlag 名下。刊本身的 DOI 是 10.1055/s-00000029。

• Volume numbering is arithmetic rather than sequential. The year minus 1984 gives the volume, so 2025 is volume 41 and 2026 is volume 42.卷号是算出来的，不靠逐年累加。年份减 1984 得卷号，2025 年是第 41 卷，2026 年是第 42 卷。

• Nine issues make a volume, and their numbers run straight through the calendar year, so the last issue of 2026 reads 42/09 and no quarter starts a fresh count.一卷九期，期号在年内连排，2026 年的最后一期写作 42/09，过了季度也不用重新起头。

• Four societies treat it as their official publication, the World Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery, the American Society for Peripheral Nerve, the Robotic Assisted Microsurgical and Endoscopic Society (RAMSES) and the European Federation of Societies for Microsurgery.四家学会把它当作机关刊，世界重建显微外科学会（WSRM），美国周围神经学会（ASPN），机器人辅助显微外科与内镜学会（RAMSES），以及欧洲显微外科学会联合会（EFSM）。

• Print and online editions run together, and accepted papers go up on Thieme eFirst before they are assigned to an issue, which shortens the wait for something citable.纸本与在线两版并行，录用的稿子先上 Thieme eFirst，归入某一期之前就能读到，也就能被引用。

• Annual output swings more than a nine-issue rhythm would suggest. Crossref counts 111 items for 2019, 135 for 2020, 120 for 2021, 100 for 2022, 92 for 2023, 134 for 2024 and 128 for 2025.年发量的起伏比一年九期的节奏更大。Crossref 记 2019 年 111 条，2020 年 135 条，2021 年 120 条，2022 年 100 条，2023 年 92 条，2024 年 134 条，2025 年 128 条。

• The trough is 2023 at 92 items, and the two years after it climb back to 134 and 128, which is a range too wide for the nine issue grid to explain on its own.谷底是 2023 年的 92 条，随后两年回到 134 条与 128 条，这样大的落差，一年九期这个框架自己解释不了。

• Five impact factors read 2.873 for 2021, 2.329 for 2022, 2.2 for 2023, 2.3 for 2024 and 2.3 for 2025, a loss of a fifth from the peak followed by three years near flat.五个影响因子是 2021 年 2.873，2022 年 2.329，2023 年 2.2，2024 年 2.3，2025 年 2.3。从高点掉了五分之一，此后三年基本走平。

• The 2025 file places it in the second quartile of surgery, 105th of 321 titles, with a percentile of 67.4 and a JCI of 1.01.2025 年的表把它放在外科第二区，321 种刊里第 105 位，百分位 67.4，JCI 1.01。

• Citation weight holds steady. That file credits 3,394 citations to 115 articles in the year, gives a cited half-life of eight years, and the platform serves 87.9 thousand full texts annually.被引的分量稳。同一份表记下 3,394 次引用对当年 115 篇文章，被引半衰期 8 年，平台上一年读掉的全文是 8.79 万篇次。

• MEDLINE and PubMed have taken it whole from volume 1, issue 1, so the 1984 opening paper is as reachable as last month's. Index Medicus covered it on the same footing.MEDLINE 与 PubMed 从第 1 卷第 1 期起全量收录，1984 年创刊号上的文章与上个月的新稿一样查得到。Index Medicus 当年按同一口径收。

Editors

• Bernard T. Lee holds the Editor-in-Chief line, the one name on the board page that answers for the whole title while the rest answer for a part of it.Bernard T. Lee 挂主编一职，编委会页面上只有这一个名字对全刊负责，其余各按分工。

• Britt T. Stockton is Managing Editor, the post that runs the queue and the correspondence and hands the issue to production while the editor-in-chief decides what is published.Britt T. Stockton 任管理编辑，管队列与通信，也管把一期交给付排，登什么仍由主编定。

• Two regional editors split the map, Gunter Germann for Europe and Yixin Zhang for Asia, so each region has a named desk instead of routing everything through one office.区域编辑把地图分成两半，Gunter Germann 管欧洲，Yixin Zhang 管亚洲，两个区域各有自己的案头，不必把所有稿子都递到一处。

• Michael W. Neumeister holds the Clinical Review Editors line, a post that sits between the research queue and the reader who needs to know whether a technique is ready for the ward.Michael W. Neumeister 挂临床评论编辑一职，这个位置夹在研究稿与临床读者之间，后者想知道一项技术能不能进病房。

• Susan Mackinnon and Julia K. Terzis serve as Society Liaison Editors, the working link between the four owning societies and the editorial office.Susan Mackinnon 与 Julia K. Terzis 任学会联络编辑，四家机关学会与编辑部之间的那条线由这两位接。

• Two lines of the masthead carry the journal's own history. Berish Strauch is Founding Editor and Peter C. Neligan is Editor Emeritus, so who started the journal and who last led it both stay visible.刊头用两行留住沿革。Berish Strauch 是创刊编辑，Peter C. Neligan 是名誉编辑，谁开的刊，谁最后执掌过，一眼看得见。

• Around sixty people sit on the editorial board. The Pacific is well represented, the North American and European names carry equal weight, and Seoul, Taipei, Tokyo and Guangzhou all have institutions on the list.编委会约六十人。亚太的名字不少，北美与欧洲的分量相当，首尔的大学与台北长庚都在，东京和广州也有。

• The roll also sketches a map of established units, Fu-Chan Wei at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Joon Pio Hong at the University of Ulsan, Shimon Rochkind at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center.名单也勾出一张老牌中心的分布图，长庚纪念医院的 Fu-Chan Wei，蔚山大学的 Joon Pio Hong，特拉维夫 Sourasky 医学中心的 Shimon Rochkind。

• Access is hybrid. An author may publish under CC BY, which permits commercial reuse, or under CC BY-NC-ND, which does not, and the choice is made at acceptance.获取方式是混合制。作者可选 CC BY，也可选 CC BY-NC-ND，前者允许商业再利用，后者不许，选择在录用时做。

• Charges for 2026 stand at 3,620 dollars or 3,390 euros, and gold open access accounts for 3.79 percent of the file, so most papers still reach readers through a subscription.2026 年的费用是 3,620 美元或 3,390 欧元，金色开放获取的占比是 3.79%，多数稿子仍经由订阅送到读者手里。

• Residents can request the journal free of charge, a subscription paid for by ASSI, which is how a trainee in a thinly funded programme still reads the current volume.住院医师可以申请免费订阅，费用由 ASSI 出资，经费紧的训练项目里的年轻人因此读得到当年各期。

• Manuscripts are handled through ScholarOne, and the guidelines keep journal-specific instructions in a separate document from the Thieme-wide policies on ethics, authorship and open access.稿件走 ScholarOne 系统，投稿须知把本刊的具体要求单列一份文件，与 Thieme 全社在伦理、署名和开放获取上的政策分开。
