Nontufted Incisional Slit Grafting

Abstract

With this technique it is possible to transplant more than 2000 grafts in one session, meaning that patients with extreme baldness and a relatively small fringe of hair can become hairy in an aesthetically pleasing way due to the extremely economic redistribution of the donor hair.

Experience with Laser Hair Transplantation in Orientals

“…New implanting or insertion technique are reported continuously in the literature 1–3,5,7–9,21–23 . Preparing recipient sites with a high‐energy CO 2 laser has the advantages of producing less bleeding, a shorter operative time, and less graft compression, resulting in a good hair yield 1–3,5,7–9 .…”

“…Hair transplantation has been performed for more than 30 years 10 . There have many advances in this field in recent years, including improvements in donor hair harvesting, 11,12 graft sizes and processing, 13–19 local anesthesia, 20 and implanting technique 1–3,5,7–9,21,22 . The common purposes of all of these are to improve hair survival, increase the naturalness of the results, and shorten operation time.…”

A review of modern surgical hair restoration techniques

“…These grafts still had up to eight hairs however and still appeared quite tufted when working with coarse black donor hair. Carlos Uebel in Brazil[12] and the Moser Clinic in Vienna[13] advocated large sessions of even smaller grafts containing 3-4 hairs, cut from a donor strip and inserted into slits made with a No 11 blade.…”
