The fusion of tissue engineering, stem cell therapy, and biomaterials has opened transformative pathways for restoring form and function in complex defects. Regenerative medicine in reconstructive surgery is no longer a future promise but an evolving clinical reality. Surgeons now utilize bioengineered skin, cartilage scaffolds, and adipose-derived cells to enhance wound healing and tissue integration. In craniofacial, breast, and extremity reconstruction, these biologic tools offer alternatives to traditional grafts, reducing donor site morbidity and promoting more natural outcomes. Customized growth factor delivery and 3D bioprinting are further expanding surgical possibilities. As research advances, the focus is shifting toward functional regeneration—restoring not just appearance but also biomechanical integrity. This interdisciplinary convergence is redefining what’s possible in reconstructive care, aligning science with patient-specific solutions.
