TLDR Combining FUE and strip surgery increases hair harvested in one session and keeps options open for future transplants.
The document discussed a combined approach of Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and strip surgery to enhance the number of follicular units harvested in a single session while preserving an untouched area for potential future transplants. The focus was not on determining which technique was superior but on integrating both methods to optimize hair restoration outcomes. This approach aimed to maximize the donor hair yield and maintain options for future procedures if needed.
