This review discusses developments in tissue engineering for burn wound coverage and reconstructive surgery, reporting no new results but highlighting the need for further research into clinical effectiveness.

This study suggests that reconstructive methods for burn alopecia should be tailored to the conditions of the scarring, with scalp extension and expansion recommended only for large, poor-quality alopecia due to a high complication rate.

This article reviews the complex challenges of managing scalp and cranial deformities post-trauma or surgery, advocating for better multidisciplinary approaches to enhance outcomes, but reports no new results.

This study highlights the potential benefits and current limitations of robotic systems in nipple-sparing mastectomies, noting their promise in reducing surgeon fatigue but pointing out challenges such as longer operating times, high costs, and limited haptic feedback.

This study describes a management approach for scalp electrical injuries, emphasizing thorough debridement as key to successful reconstruction outcomes.

This article reviews the use of micrografts and minigrafts for facial and scalp hair reconstruction, noting it is safe, predictable, and achieves high patient satisfaction, but it presents no new clinical data.

The authors reported that V-Y-S plasty was a safe one-stage method for reconstructing very large scalp alopecia following burns or surgeries.

This study analyzed trends in tissue expansion research and identified acellular dermal matrix's effect on breast reconstruction complications as a current key topic, with patient-activated controlled expansion as a potential future focus.

This article discusses the challenges and considerations in scalp reconstruction after tumor resection, trauma, alopecia, or irradiation, highlighting both functional and cosmetic goals without reporting new research findings.

Doctors successfully rebuilt a sideburn using skin and hair from near the ear in one surgery.

This study highlights the historical and contemporary use of hair sutures in plastic surgery, noting their advantages such as favorable aesthetic outcomes, minimal tissue reaction, and cost-effectiveness, despite modern synthetic alternatives.

This case report discusses the use of the Kono-S anastomosis technique in a patient with Crohn’s disease, suggesting it may offer benefits in reducing recurrence and preserving anastomosis dimensions, though further trials are needed to confirm its effectiveness.

In this retrospective analysis, researchers evaluated 54 patients undergoing soft tissue reconstruction for scalp and forehead defects and reported excellent aesthetic outcomes with local flaps for defects up to 50 cm², while larger defects typically required additional skin grafting.

This study found that incorporating dermal papillae cells and keratinocytes into dermal substitutes promoted better wound healing, reduced contraction, and enabled appendage formation in tissue-engineered skin on mice.

In this study, researchers found that hair follicle-like structures can be generated from collagen/chitosan porous scaffolds implanted with mouse hair follicle cells in vitro.

This review highlights the complexities of hair graying and the limitations of current models to fully replicate hair follicle pigmentary unit function, suggesting that technologies like organoids and bioprinting show promise but require further development for effective hair repigmentation interventions.

In this systematic review, the researchers provide an overview of recent techniques and innovations in the surgical reconstruction of traumatic scalp injuries, highlighting various methods and factors influencing the choice of reconstructive strategy to improve patient outcomes.

This review explores techniques for scalp reconstruction, focusing on local flap design and execution, without reporting new clinical findings.

This review discusses the application of follicular unit micrografts and minigrafts in hair restoration, particularly for male pattern baldness, and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the use of stable isotope analysis in primate hair to study feeding behavior and reports no new results; the authors call for methodological refinement in field and lab procedures.

This study suggests that 3D bioprinting may become a practical solution for tissue regeneration and complex wound care, demonstrating improved outcomes over traditional methods in various applications.

This study demonstrates that 3D bioprinting is advancing toward practical use in reconstructive medicine, with promising results in personalized skin grafts, hair regeneration, and burn care, despite existing technical and ethical challenges.

This study reported that in degenerative alopecia, Zn²⁺/Cu²⁺-dependent proteases are downregulated and destabilized, and a specially developed microneedle patch reactivated these enzymes, reduced senescence, and enhanced hair regeneration in an animal model.

This narrative review discusses the use of micrografts and minigrafts for facial and scalp reconstruction following various causes of hair loss and reports a high level of patient satisfaction with these techniques.

This review discusses current techniques for scalp reconstruction following oncologic surgery and reports no new clinical outcomes, emphasizing the importance of tailored approaches for satisfactory closure.

Burn reconstruction improves with new techniques, materials, and tissue engineering.

This study concluded that microsurgical reconstruction is a reliable method to achieve stable coverage of large, complex scalp defects, although cancer control rates were poor.

In this study, composite grafts were effectively used for reconstructing lower third nasal defects, providing good aesthetic outcomes with minimal complications and avoiding long scars associated with larger flaps.

In this study, researchers used three-dimensional reconstruction to show that the shape of the hair follicle determines the hair's form, with variations observed among different racial groups.

This review discusses advancements in techniques for scalp reconstruction, highlighting improved cosmetic outcomes and reduced morbidity, but reports no new clinical results.
