The field of plastic surgery is continuously evolving, with faster-emerging technologies and therapeutic approaches, leading to the necessity of establishing novel protocols and solving models. Surgical decision-making in reconstructive surgery is significantly impacted by various factors, including the etiopathology of the defect, the need to restore form and function, the patient's characteristics, compliance and expectations, and the surgeon's expertise. A broad surgical armamentarium is currently available, comprising well-established surgical procedures, as well as emerging techniques and technologies. Reconstructive surgery paradigms guide therapeutic strategies in order to reduce morbidity, mortality and risks while maximizing safety, patient satisfaction and properly restoring form and function. The paradigms provide researchers with formulation and solving models for each unique problem, assembling complex entities composed of theoretical, practical, methodological and instrumental elements.
