Follicular unit extraction (FUE) has been developed as one type of follicular unit transplantation surgery, a widely accepted hair-restoration technique. FUE has many advantages, including a small donor area scar, less pain and a slender graft without extra surrounding tissue. Complications are uncommon in the literature. We describe a case of donor-site necrosis after hair restoration with FUE, leading to cicatricial alopecia in the left half of the occipital region. The surgical management of this complication is also discussed. Cicatricial alopecia was treated by two-stage surgery with tissue expanders. There were no complications in the postoperative period and healing was uneventful. We conclude that although FUE has many advantages, necrosis of the donor site may be a serious problem.
毛囊单位提取（FUE）已经发展成为毛囊单位移植手术的一种类型，是一种广泛接受的毛发修复技术。FUE 具有许多优点，包括供区瘢痕小、疼痛少、移植体纤细且无额外周围组织。文献中并发症并不常见。我们描述了一例 FUE 毛发修复后供区坏死的病例，导致枕部左侧出现瘢痕性脱发。还讨论了这种并发症的手术处理方法。采用组织扩张器进行了两阶段手术治疗瘢痕性脱发。术后无并发症，愈合顺利。我们的结论是，尽管 FUE 有许多优点，但供区坏死可能是一个严重的问题。
