    Glossary Transection

    accidental cutting of hair follicles during transplant procedures

    Transection refers to the accidental cutting or damaging of hair follicles during a hair transplant procedure. 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. For professionals, minimizing transection is crucial for maximizing graft survival and achieving optimal results.
