Early plastic surgical involvement and patient optimisation are crucial for timely and successful reconstruction. This review outlines key principles in assessing defects, improving patient condition, and selecting the most suitable reconstructive method to enhance function, reduce complications, and ensure efficient use of healthcare resources.
