The use of robotic technology to harvest grafts in a follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant procedure has been available since 2011. A new capability of the robotic system is to harvest follicular units based on the number of hairs they contain to increase the hair/wound yield.
To assess the benefit of follicular unit graft selection during a robotic FUE procedure.
This bilateral controlled study of 24 patients was designed to evaluate the ability of a robotic system to perform follicular unit graft selection.
Compared with random follicular unit harvesting (the method performed by current robotic systems), robotic follicular unit graft selection produced more hairs per harvest attempt (2.60 vs 2.22) and more hairs per graft (2.72 vs 2.44). The clinical benefit of follicular unit graft selection (as measured by the increase in hairs per harvest attempt) was 17.0%. The clinical benefit (as measured by the increase in hairs per graft) was 11.4%. Results were statistically significant at p < .01.
This study demonstrates the ability of robotic follicular unit graft selection to increase the amount of hairs yielded per donor wounds made in an FUE procedure.
自2011年以来，机器人技术已被用于在毛囊单位提取（FUE）植发手术中获取移植物。机器人系统的一项新功能是根据毛囊单位所含毛发数量来获取毛囊单位，以提高毛发/伤口产量。
评估在机器人FUE手术中进行毛囊单位移植物选择的益处。
这项对24名患者的双侧对照研究旨在评估机器人系统进行毛囊单位移植物选择的能力。
与随机获取毛囊单位（当前机器人系统所采用的方法）相比，机器人毛囊单位移植物选择每次获取尝试产生的毛发更多（2.60对2.22），每个移植物的毛发也更多（2.72对2.44）。毛囊单位移植物选择的临床益处（以每次获取尝试的毛发增加量衡量）为17.0%。临床益处（以每个移植物的毛发增加量衡量）为11.4%。结果在p < .01时具有统计学意义。
本研究证明了机器人毛囊单位移植物选择能够增加FUE手术中每个供体伤口产生的毛发量。
