Recent results of resonance production from RHIC at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = $ 200 GeV and SPS at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = $ 17 GeV are presented and discussed in terms of the evolution and freeze-out conditions of a hot and dense fireball medium. Yields and spectra are compared with thermal model predictions at chemical freeze-out. Deviations in the low transverse momentum region of the resonance spectrum of the hadronic decay channel, suggest a strongly interaction hadronic phase between chemical and kinetic freeze-out. Microscopic models including resonance rescattering and regeneration are able to describe the trend of the data. The magnitude of the regeneration cross sections for different inverse decay channels are discussed. Model calculations which include elastic hadronic interactions between chemical freeze-out and thermal freeze-out based on the K(892)/K and $\Lambda$(1520)/$\Lambda$ ratios suggest a time between two freeze-outs surfaces of $\Delta \tau>$ 4 fm/c. The difference in momentum distributions and yields for the $\phi$(1020) resonance reconstructed from the leptonic and hadronic decay channels at SPS energy are discussed taking into account the impact of a hadronic phase and possible medium modifications.
