Regeneration and reconstruction share the same goal—restore structure and function with the fewest complications and the fastest return to life. This session integrates biology, biomechanics, and microsurgical technique with emerging materials and cell-based therapies to create durable results across specialties. We connect wound biology and mechanotransduction to flap choice, graft take, and scaffold integration; review nerve and tendon regeneration principles; and align perioperative strategies with healing timelines. If you’re researching Regenerative & Reconstructive Surgery, comparing options at a Surgery Conference, or exploring tissue engineering for surgery, this page clarifies what to use, when, and why—so innovation translates to consistent outcomes.
We map flap algorithms (local, regional, free) to defect size, zone and perfusion, and show how perforator planning and ICG perfusion checks reduce fat necrosis and dehiscence. You’ll learn when dermal substitutes, ADM, or collagen scaffolds outperform autograft alone; how negative-pressure therapy modulates microstrain and angiogenesis; and where platelet-rich products and cellular adjuncts have evidence versus hype. For nerve gaps, we compare autograft, conduit, and nerve transfer; for bone and cartilage, we outline graft options, 3D-printed augments, and osteoinductive cues that promote integration. We also address scar modulation—tension lines, immobilization phases, silicone/pressure therapy—and patient-reported outcomes that capture function and appearance.
Operational content covers OR setup for microsurgery, anticoagulation and vasospasm protocols, and salvage pathways when inflow/outflow is compromised. Equity is addressed via staged recon where resources limit microsurgery, practical dressing regimens, and rehab partnerships that maintain gains after discharge. We close with future horizons: biofabricated composites, gene-activated matrices, and smart scaffolds that release drugs or signals in response to mechanical load. Attendees leave with decision trees, checklists, and counseling phrases that align expectations with biology and technique.

Biology, Mechanics & Technique
Wound & Tissue Biology
- Inflammation, angiogenesis, and remodeling timelines guide dressing and load decisions.
- Microstrain and oxygenation steer choice of NPWT, splints, and mobilization.
Flaps, Grafts & Scaffolds
- Match defect to local/regional/free flaps; assess perfusion with ICG and Doppler.
- Select ADM, collagen, or dermal matrices when autograft alone won’t suffice.
Nerve, Tendon & Bone Repair
- Use tension-free principles for neurorrhaphy; pick conduits or transfers by gap length.
- Combine autograft, substitutes, and osteoinductive cues to secure union.
Scar & Outcome Optimization
- Align closure with tension lines; deploy silicone, pressure, and motion timing.
- Track PROMs for function, sensation, and cosmesis beyond simple “closure.”
