Polyesters comprise the earliest and most extensive investigation as biomaterials. The integration of polyester into thermogelling system is one of the most recent trends in the development of hydrogel research. In this review, the most recent development of polyester based thermogelling systems is summarized with respect to different types of polyester materials, including poly(lactic acid), polycaprolactone, polyhydroxyalkanoates, poly(glycerol sebacate), and the combination of different types of polyesters in various architectures. The insights on the involvement of polyester in the improvement of gel function and property, as well as the underlying mechanism and structure–performance correlation, are provided. The emerging applications of using these newly developed sophisticated biodegradable polymeric thermogelling systems in therapeutic deliveries and tissue engineering are also summarized.
