N2  - SUMMARY: Careful consideration of radiotherapy can determine the success of reconstructive therapy. There is a broad spectrum of radiotherapy modalities, both benign and malignant. Delivery mechanisms differ in the physical design, setup, radiation source, administrable dosage, and mode of delivery. This range of options allows radiation oncologists to tailor individualized treatment; however, radiotherapy concepts can be challenging for nonspecialists. The purpose of this article is to review general radiation oncology concepts, including essential equipment and radiobiology, and provide plastic surgeons with a basic conceptual understanding to facilitate effective multidisciplinary collaboration with radiation oncologists.
