TLDR Robotic hair transplantation surgery is generally effective with high satisfaction rates and minimal complications.
Between July 2008 and June 2009, a study involving 60 patients aged 18-58 years was conducted to assess the efficacy of robotic hair transplantation surgery. The patients underwent 5-6 hour procedures, receiving 1500-2000 follicular unit grafts under local anesthesia and were discharged the same day. The study reported high satisfaction rates, with 42 patients experiencing excellent results, 7 good, 3 poor, 4 failures, and 4 lost to follow-up. Satisfaction was based on the percentage of graft take up, with over 90% being excellent. Complications were minimal but included pain, paresthesia, infection, hypertrophic scars, and psychiatric issues. The study highlighted the necessity of careful patient selection, counseling, and postoperative care in achieving successful outcomes in hair transplantation.
