Abstract:
Regenerative surgery is an emerging multidisciplinary field that has the potential to transform the surgical treatment for diseases and injuries. This article provides a brief overview of the history of surgery and regenerative medicine, introduces the new concept of regenerative surgery, describes the surgical procedures, and discusses the role of surgeons in developing and implementing these technologies. Insights gained from recent clinical research of regenerative medicine are beginning to yield three strategies for regenerative therapies for surgical diseases, and this review also provides the challenges and translational perspectives of these different strategies.
