TLDR The FUET method improves hair transplant precision and outcomes by combining FUT and FUE techniques under a surgeon's control.

The study introduces an innovative approach to hair transplantation by combining the follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit excision (FUE) methods, termed FUET. This technique places the extraction of follicular units entirely under the control of a trained plastic surgeon, reducing the role of technicians. The study was conducted in a single clinic by the same surgical team, ensuring consistency. The FUET method allows for greater precision in follicular unit extraction compared to traditional FUT, potentially leading to improved outcomes and more effective utilization of the donor area.
