To assess the percentage survival of follicular hair graft technique and the factors influencing it.
A non-interventional descriptive study.
Plastic Surgery Unit, Hayatabad Medical Complex from November 2003 to April 2004.
A total of 30 patients were included in the study with pattern of baldness ranging from type II to type VII. Age ranged from 24 years to 50. Hair bearing skin strips were harvested from occipital area and sliced under magnification into grafts of various sizes. Either punch or slit knife was used for making holes in recipient area and grafting follicles. Patients were followed at 2 weeks, 3 months and 6 months. Graft survival was measured at 6 months postoperative interval.
In 7 patients graft survival was above 90%; in 12 patients above 80% but less than 90%; in 7 patients between 70 and 80%; in 2 patients above 60% but less than 70%; in 2 patients less than 20% which was considered as failure.
Survival was greater with punch method than use of slit knife. Chances of failure increased with the large size session, larger grafts and unknown factors that need further investigations.
评估毛囊移植技术的成活率及其影响因素。
非干预性描述性研究。
2003年11月至2004年4月，哈亚塔巴德医疗中心整形科。
共纳入30例患者，秃发类型从II型到VII型不等。年龄在24岁至50岁之间。从枕部取带毛发的皮肤条，在放大条件下切成不同大小的移植物。使用打孔器或裂隙刀在受区打孔并植入毛囊。在术后2周、3个月和6个月对患者进行随访。在术后6个月时测量移植物的成活率。
7例患者移植物成活率高于90%；12例患者高于80%但低于90%；7例患者在70%至80%之间；2例患者高于60%但低于70%；2例患者低于20%，被视为失败。
打孔法的成活率高于裂隙刀法。手术规模大、移植物大以及一些未知因素会增加失败几率，这些未知因素有待进一步研究。
