Studysummary This book reviews various aspects of hair replacement surgery, offering detailed information on grafting techniques and alopecia reduction methods but presents no new clinical findings. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
The 1997 book "Hair Replacement: Surgical and Medical," edited by Drs. Stough and Haber, is a comprehensive resource for hair restoration surgeons, both experienced and new to the field. The book successfully integrates contributions from various authors into a coherent and authoritative text on hair replacement surgery. It covers the then-recent trend towards grafting large numbers of small hair-bearing grafts, detailing techniques, instrumentation, and theoretical and practical aspects of these procedures. The text also addresses the decline in popularity of alopecia reductions, yet provides detailed discussions on the value of these techniques when properly executed. Additionally, the book includes discussions on the basics of surgical procedures, psychological aspects of hair loss, the progressive nature of androgenetic alopecia, and the importance of careful patient selection and realistic restoration goals. David Green, MD, endorses the book as a valuable resource filled with current information for physicians practicing hair replacement surgery.
