Commentary on Treatment of Thin Linear Scars on the Scalp

The article discusses the use of double trichophytic closure, a 2-layer closure technique, for repairing thin linear scars on the scalp without an additional incision. The technique involves removing a superficial portion of the epidermis from both scar edges and suturing them together, changing the orientation of the hairs so that they grow toward each other. The article suggests that this method is an easy and effective way to reduce the financial burden of a patient. The author also mentions other treatments, including flaps and hair transplants, for scars wider than 4 mm. The article concludes that the double trichophytic closure is a helpful technique in keeping the scar narrow and reducing the alopecic surface area after scalp surgery.
