Summary: This article reviews the clinical attempts at tracheal reconstruction and classifies them into non-tissue engineering and tissue engineering strategies. By analyzing the main difficulties and achievements in the field, as well as evaluating the forefront clinical experiences in tracheal repair/replacement, this review aims to promote a safer and more effective clinical translation in the future.

Summary: This study examined the variation and course of the middle temporal vein (MTV) using computed tomographic angiography. The results showed that all MTVs had at least one major trunk, with an average diameter of 2.98 mm. The relationship between the MTV and the frontal branch of the superficial temporal artery was also evaluated, with most superficial temporal arteries located above the MTVs.

Summary: This systematic review found that soft tissue augmentation procedures inconsistently affected marginal bone level changes, but consistently improved secondary outcomes. The combination of soft and hard tissue augmentation showed better results in terms of marginal soft tissue recession compared to hard tissue augmentation alone. Contour augmentations with soft or hard tissue augmentation resulted in comparable marginal bone level changes.

Summary: Mastectomy is an effective treatment for breast cancer, but it results in breast and soft tissue deficits. Autologous tissue breast reconstruction is associated with donor site morbidity, and breast implants have potential complications. Autologous aspirated fat grafting is an ideal method but has low viability and high resorption. A novel technique using cultured mature adipocytes mixed with their condition medium was developed for breast reconstruction, achieving full thickness fat-engraftment with high reliability and long-term sustainability.

Summary: This comprehensive review explores the role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in different aspects of soft tissue regeneration, including their application in craniofacial and oral soft tissue regeneration, nerve regeneration, blood vessel regeneration, muscle regeneration, and fibrous tissue regeneration. By examining the latest research findings and clinical advancements, this article aims to provide insights into the current state of MSC-based therapies in soft tissue regenerative medicine.

Summary: Soft tissue defects are a common challenge in clinical practice, usually caused by trauma, congenital anomalies, and oncological surgery. Current reconstruction options have important disadvantages, but vascularized adipose tissue engineering (VATE) strategies could provide solutions. This review summarizes the characteristics of functional adipose tissue, discusses different VATE techniques, and points out current challenges and future perspectives.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate donor site satisfaction following autologous fat transfer (AFT) for total breast reconstruction in breast cancer patients. The results showed no significant difference in body satisfaction between AFT and implant-based reconstruction, indicating that large-volume liposuction does not aesthetically affect the utilized donor sites. However, reconstructive surgeons should be aware of possible donor site complications, especially contour irregularities at the thighs, and discuss this with their patients.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to analyze MRI findings of locoregional recurrence following reconstructive surgery after malignant soft tissue tumor resection. The study retrospectively reviewed 53 postoperative MRIs from 37 patients and analyzed 76 enhancing lesions. The common MRI features of locoregional recurrence were nodular shape, well-defined borders, hyperintensity on T2WI, impeded water diffusion, and intense or moderate enhancement.
