Abstract: Regenerative Surgery aims at the restoration of the loss of structures and functions of the body using four innovative approaches: physical energies, biomaterials, cell products and stem cells. The Authors provide an overview of their experience with Regenerative Surgery procedures at the Plastic Surgery Unit of the University of Pavia, Istituti Clinici Scientifici Salvatore Maugeri, in a 10 years period, from 2007 to 2017, for the treatment of extensive acute soft tissue loss, chronic ulcers, disabling scars and degenerative pathologies with different aethiology. Regenerative Surgery is a well-established and effective practice in a modern Plastic Surgery Unit. Regenerative methods are effectively used both as exclusive options in case of absolute contraindication to traditional surgery and as alternative to the latter in order to provide the same outcome with less invasiveness or in combination with minor traditional surgical procedures to reduce the overall surgical burden.
