A review is made of the latest developments in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery. The subspecialty divisions are more pronounced in the modern era, but are still linked by a unified approach to soft‐tissue management. Although cornerstone areas such as microsurgery have seen refinement, other fields, including aesthetic surgery, have been totally redefined by laser technology and the spread of endoscopic techniques.
