Glossary Graft Transection Rate

The Graft Transection Rate (GTR) refers to the percentage of hair follicles that are accidentally cut or damaged during the extraction process in a hair transplant procedure. A lower GTR indicates a more precise extraction, which is crucial for the success and natural appearance of the transplant.
