In the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery, the loss of organs or tissues caused by diseases or injuries has resulted in challenges, such as donor shortage and immunosuppression. In recent years, with the development of regenerative medicine, the decellularization-recellularization strategy seems to be a promising and attractive method to resolve these difficulties. The decellularized extracellular matrix contains no cells and genetic materials, while retaining the complex ultrastructure, and it can be used as a scaffold for cell seeding and subsequent transplantation, thereby promoting the regeneration of diseased or damaged tissues and organs. This review provided an overview of decellularization-recellularization technique, and mainly concentrated on the application of decellularization-recellularization technique in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery, including the remodeling of skin, nose, ears, face, and limbs. Finally, we proposed the challenges in and the direction of future development of decellularization-recellularization technique in plastic surgery.

Nipple-areolar complex (NAC) reconstruction after breast cancer surgery is challenging and does not always provide optimal long-term esthetic results. Therefore, generating a NAC using tissue engineering techniques, such as a decellularization-recellularization process, is an alternative option to recreate a specific 3D NAC morphological unit, which is then covered with an regenerated epidermis and, thereafter, skin-grafted on the reconstructed breast. Human NACs were harvested from cadaveric donors and decellularized using sequential detergent baths.

Organ decellularization creates cell-free, collagen-based extracellular matrices that can be used as scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. This technique has recently gained much attention, yet adequate scaffold repopulation and implantation remain a challenge. Specifically, there still needs to be a greater understanding of scaffold responses post-transplantation and ways we can improve scaffold durability to withstand the in vivo environment.

: Durable reconstruction of critical size bone defects is still a surgical challenge despite the availability of numerous autologous and substitute bone options. In this paper, we have investigated the possibility of creating a living bone allograft, using the perfusion/decellularization/recellularization (PDR) technique, which was applied to an original model of vascularized porcine bone graft. : 11 porcine bone forelimbs, including radius and ulna, were harvested along with their vasculature including the interosseous artery and then decellularized using a sequential detergent perfusion protocol.

Currently, the only feasible option for patients with progressive and/or end-stage organ degeneration is to undergo transplantation. Due to the growing unmatched demand of available organ donors and, as a consequence, the continuous growth of patients' waiting lists, the development of new tissue engineering technologies is a relevant need. In this chapter, we will focus on the liver as a model organ to discuss contemporary tissue engineering strategies.
