    TLDR Recognizing racial differences in anatomy helps make hair transplants safer.
    The study examined the anatomical variations of the occipital artery and nerve complex across different racial groups to minimize the risk of injury during strip harvesting in hair transplantation. Understanding these variations was crucial for surgeons to avoid complications and improve surgical outcomes. The research highlighted the importance of considering racial differences in anatomical structures to enhance the safety and effectiveness of hair transplant procedures.
