Background: Hair transplantation is one of the most evolving procedures in aesthetic surgery accompanied by regular improvement in technique. The recent advancement in technology and the concept of using follicular unit grafts have made this procedure reach a new height. A precise appreciation of anatomy has allowed the use of follicular unit graft. With better methods of harvesting and implantation, hair transplantation results represent a blend of art and science. Materials & method: 60 patients underwent hair transplant surgery from July/2008 to June/2009. Age limit was 18-58 years. Patients were evaluated and prepared in standard way. Operations were done by Robotic follicular unit graft by a specially designed machine. Procedures were performed under nerve block and local infiltration .Grafting sessions lasted for 5-6 hours, during which 1500-2000 FUGs were transplanted. Patients were discharged on the same day. Results: Minimum complications were observed. Most of the patients were satisfied except a few. Some patients needed second sitting surgery. Conclusion: With better methods of harvesting and implantation, Hair transplantation, if done judiciously, is a very rewarding procedure, both for the surgeon and the patient.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bdjps.v1i1.6488Bangladesh Journal of Plastic Surgery (2010) Vol. 1 (1) pp.19-23

Background: Urethrocutaneous fistula is the most prevalent complication after urethroplasty. Many methods have been developed for correction, and the best technique is determined based on the size, location, and number of fistulas, as well as the status of the surrounding skin. Objective: To compare the outcome of local dartos flap and tunnelled tunica vaginalis coverage in cases of repair of urethrocutaneous fistula. Materials and Methods: In the period of 2015-2018, 51 patients with 51 fistulas with an average age of 81.3 months (range 21-156 months) were classified into coronal-19, distal penile-11, mid penile-14, proximal penile-5 and penoscrotal-2. Thirty six patients were repaired with local dartos flap coverage and 15 patients were repaired with tunnelled tunica vaginalis coverage. Results: The repair was successful in all patients of tunica vaginalis coverage but 7 patients of dartos flap coverage developed recurrent fistulas (p value 0.066). There was no patient of scrotal complications. There were no statistically significant differences regarding age (p=0.83), location of fistula (p=0.40), size of fistula (p=0.29). Conclusions: Though the result of this study with such a small sample was not statistically significant, tunica vaginalis coverage seems to be better than dartos flap coverage in preventing recurrence.
