A Practical Method for Hair Separation at Otoplasty Surgery: Hair Gel

    August 2019
    Ömer Kokaçya
    TLDR Using hair gel is an effective and patient-friendly way to keep hair out of the way during ear surgery.
    In otoplasty surgeries, hair interference posed a common problem affecting sterility and surgeon comfort, potentially prolonging operation times. Traditional methods for hair separation included metal combs, hair clips, and rubber bands. However, the use of hair gel was introduced as a practical and cost-effective solution. By applying hair gel, hair was kept away from the surgical area, maintaining sterility without causing discomfort to patients. Postoperatively, patients were advised to wash their hair on the second day, and none reported issues with having gel in their hair for this duration.

      Greasy or product-laden hair can make the scalp appear more visible, leading some to mistakenly think they are balding. Proper hair washing and avoiding heavy products can help assess true hair thickness, and treatments like finasteride are used by some for actual hair loss.
