Advanced Use of Tissue Adhesive in Hair Transplantation

In the 1993 study involving over 2500 cases, the authors found that using cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive in hair transplantation significantly reduced complications such as graft elevation and cobblestoning, leading to improved cosmetic outcomes and high patient satisfaction. The adhesive allowed patients to resume normal activities immediately and shower within 6 hours postoperatively, without the need for bandages. The majority of crusts were gone by suture removal at two weeks, and the adhesive was free of complications, bactericidal, and did not cause contact sensitization. The study concluded that the routine use of tissue adhesive in hair transplantation is beneficial for achieving superior cosmetic results.
