    TLDR The Juri flap procedure is effective for hair transplantation but requires careful patient selection and skilled surgeons.
    The document summarizes a two-year experience with the Juri flap procedure, a surgical technique for hair transplantation, on 32 patients. This method involves transferring hair-bearing scalp to bald areas and may require secondary surgeries for optimal results. The procedure is suitable for patients with a strong motivation for hair replacement, especially those with unsatisfactory results from punch grafts or unsuitable hair texture or density for punch grafting. The author notes that while the procedure redistributes existing hair, it does not create new hair, and emphasizes the importance of patient selection and surgeon expertise. The author's subsequent experience with an additional 12 procedures suggests increasing success with the technique. Issues such as delayed healing and the need for surgical revision were also discussed.
