Did you mean Follicle Transection?

Glossary Follicle Transection

accidental cutting of hair follicles during transplant surgery

Follicle transection refers to the accidental cutting or damaging of hair follicles during hair transplant surgery. This can occur when the surgical instruments used to extract or implant hair grafts inadvertently sever the follicles, potentially reducing the success rate of the transplant and affecting hair growth outcomes.
