Incisional Slit Grafting: A Superior Hair Transplantation Method

The document from 1991 discusses incisional slit grafting, a hair transplantation method that has been used on over 400 patients in the past 3 years, showing superior results for various hair types and alopecia degrees. This technique uses smaller grafts and does not remove tissue from the recipient area, preserving vascular supply and increasing graft survival. It results in a natural-looking hairline and avoids the unnatural appearance associated with traditional round grafts. The procedure includes multiple sessions spaced out over months and involves careful placement of grafts to mimic natural hair density and patterns. Case studies demonstrate its effectiveness, including improved outcomes for patients with poor hair quality and less visible scarring, making it a preferred method over large round grafts.
