Standardized Technique of Transplanting Micrografts in Hair Restoration Surgery: A Practical Approach

Abstract

The transplantation of a large number of hair-bearing micrografts has become an important method in hair restoration surgery and one that achieves a more natural looking growth of the transplanted hairs than minigrafts or punchgrafts. However, the process of grafting over a hundred micrografts is still tedious, laborious, and time-consuming, and also increases the amount of surgical trauma to the hair follicles of the donor site.

To speed up the process of micrografting and minimize surgical trauma to the follicles and the grafts in order to maximize the grafts survival and therefore optimize clinical results.

The authors describe the standardized micrografting technique used in our unit for hair transplantation, which speeds up the grafting process and minimizes the trauma due to surgery during the various fares of the transplanting procedure of the hair follicles.

The described technique significantly speeds up the process of transplanting micrografts with minimal surgical trauma and therefore the best possible graft survival.

Standardized micrografting is a fast, practical and efficient technique for hair restoration surgery.
