The researchers reported that using extenders during scalp reductions increased effectiveness by 30 to 86% and prevented "stretch-back" in subsequent procedures.

This article discusses scalp tissue expansion as a superior reconstructive option for large defects over traditional skin grafts and flap methods, but reports no new clinical outcomes.

In this case study, a 35-year-old male with severe burn-related scalp injuries underwent successful reconstruction through tissue expansion, skin grafts, and multiple hair transplant sessions, resulting in satisfactory aesthetic and functional recovery.

This study found that prolonged acute tissue expansion notably increased the amount of scalp tissue removed during scalp reduction surgery in three patients.

This study observed that platelet-rich gel for scalp defect reconstruction was more cost-effective and less painful but resulted in poorer hair growth compared to the external tissue expansion technique.

This study concluded that both follicular unit extraction and scalp expanders are effective for hair restoration in secondary cicatricial alopecia when tailored to patient-specific factors.

This book review discusses various techniques related to hair transplantation, focusing on the necessary instruments, and does not present new clinical findings.

This article reviews surgical techniques for addressing scalp defects and highlights hair restoration as a cosmetic improvement strategy, but it reports no new clinical results.

Hair extensions can cause hair loss and scalp damage, and these problems might be more common than people realize.

This article discusses challenges and limitations of using simple tissue mechanics for repairing head and neck skin defects in trauma and does not report new findings; it highlights potential problems with routine methods.

This article proposes a methodology for selecting hair extension technology that aligns with natural hair structure and aesthetic goals, suggesting the best results are achieved by matching technique to hair's mechanical capacity.

Proper training is crucial for safe and effective hair extensions.

This narrative review outlines the biological costs of hair extensions, such as traction leading to hair loss and scalp issues, and suggests a prevention-focused model involving risk assessment, surveillance, and tiered therapies to minimize alopecia risk and maintain scalp health.

Hair extensions can worsen scalp conditions and should be avoided in those with alopecia.

Different methods like wigs, extensions, and devices can help improve hair volume for thinning hair.

The author believes artificial dermis might not be the best first option for hair transplant surgeons when other surgical choices exist for scalp reconstruction.

This article discusses tissue-expansion augmented scalp reduction as a surgical option for cicatricial alopecia patients who are otherwise not candidates for traditional hair replacement techniques, but it reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews techniques for repairing scalp deformities and concludes that combining older methods with modern hair restoration allows for satisfactory treatment of large scarred areas.

Tissue expansion is a useful method for reconstructive surgery with good results and room for further enhancement.

This article discusses extensive scalp lifting for male-pattern alopecia and emphasizes the need for precise surgical techniques and understanding to minimize complications, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 45-year-old man with androgenetic alopecia who developed painful abscesses after monacrylic hair fiber implantation, requiring surgical intervention with tissue expansion and flap repair.

This case report describes a flap advancement technique following skin expansion as a successful method to address primary essential cutis verticis gyrata, preserving hair growth and improving cosmetic outcomes.

This research review explores an algorithmic approach to scalp reconstruction, emphasizing the importance of considering defect location, size, and local scalp anatomy in optimizing cosmetic and functional surgical outcomes.

This review discusses the authors' approach to reconstructing scalp and neurocranial defects and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, both hair transplantation and skin expansion were found effective for treating cicatricial alopecia, with transplantation being preferable for adults with smaller areas and skin expansion suited to younger patients with larger areas.

In this study, tissue expansion was identified as a safer initial procedure before hair transplantation for patients with large scalp defects, with the majority of participants having postburn scars and a mean expansion time of 33.6 days.

This study found that the "flying-wings" expanded scalp flap technique effectively restored hemiscalp defects in children following burns, achieving pleasing aesthetic results and proper hair growth direction with minimal complications.

This study observed that good surgical outcomes for secondary cicatricial alopecia were achieved in 18 patients, with method selection influenced by the size, location, and shape of alopecia.

This review explores techniques for scalp reconstruction, focusing on local flap design and execution, without reporting new clinical findings.

This review discusses current techniques for scalp reconstruction following oncologic surgery and reports no new clinical outcomes, emphasizing the importance of tailored approaches for satisfactory closure.
