    TLDR Microvascular free scalp flap transfer is an effective method for hair restoration.
    The document discussed the use of microsurgical free scalp flap transfer as a method for hair transplantation, particularly for male pattern baldness and scalp defects. This technique, first reported in 1973, involved four main types of free scalp flaps: temporoparietal, occipitotemporal, temporo-occipitoparietal, and occipito-occipital. The free temporoparietal flap transfer was highlighted for its ability to achieve normal hair direction through microvascular anastomosis. The method was considered advantageous due to its ability to meet the specific requirements of the recipient site, offering a viable solution for hair restoration.
