TL;DR: Future directions of research should focus on the creation of microvascular networks within 3D tissue constructs in vitro before implantation or by co-stimulation of angiogenesis and parenchymal cell proliferation to engineer the vascularized tissue substitute in situ.

TL;DR: Multimodal therapy with silicone and pressure garments therapy failed to prevent hypertrophic scars beyond that observed with pressure garment therapy alone, and the efficacy of silicone spray therapy was comparable to that of silicone gel sheet therapy in the prevention of hypertrophic scarring.

TL;DR: It is indicated, that MPNST are tumor entities with a high rate of initial diagnoses that subsequently need to be adjusted (32%).

TL;DR: Shock waves have a positive effect on several parameters of wound healing after burns, especially with regard to angiogenesis and leukocyte behaviour.

TL;DR: The aim of this article is to illustrate the various plastic surgery treatment options in the multimodal therapy of patients with malignant thoracic wall tumors and provide palliation of tumor-associated morbidity and can improve patients’ quality of life.
