Objectives: Determine complete and partial transection rates (CTR/PTR) of follicular units in follicular unit extraction (FUE) and the techniques employed to minimise the follicular transfection rates (FTR). Methods: FTR values were evaluated for 50 cases. The “permanent" hair around the scalp are extracted from the follicular roots and grafted through small circular incisions around a follicular unit on the top areas (occipital part) of the scalp where loss of hair in a natural manner that has occurred. Classification of the FTR was performed using Bernstein and Rassman FOX test into five grades. Results: Complete FTR - Mean ± SD = 8.0 8 ± 6.98 and partial FTR - Mean ± SD = 16.78 ± 12.01. This includes graft quality of all the 5 grades of FOX test for the 50 cases of individuals who have undergone follicular transfection or dissection. Discussion: Follicular transfection or dissection could be affected by the individual hair and skin characteristics and the procedure is generally desired for cosmetic reasons. Baldness which is restricted to occipital area of the scalp is a major cause to undergo hair transplants which involve autologous follicular removal procedures from the lateral parts. Conclusion: Low FTR is very essential for good harvest of grafts in FUE and better outcome. Newer methods and techniques should be employed for minimising transfections. More studies are required to validate this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
