In dense stellar systems, dynamical interactions between objects inevitably lead to frequent formation of exotic stellar objects and multiple systems, thereby imposing new questions for the stellar evolution theory. The evolutionary path of such systems could be different from that of the unperturbed objects, therefore, we must re-evaluate their evolutionary treatment to clarify their consequent dynamical evolution. We review briefly the classes of important dynamical encounters and discuss several post-encounter outcomes that may require more detailed attention or development of a new treatment in stellar evolution: evolution of complex merger products, spun-up stars, binaries with stripped giants and triples.
