The availability of hair-bearing flaps offers patients a more extensive choice of corrective procedures for baldness. The hair-bearing axial temporoparietal-occipital (TPO) flap which we prefer is based on the superficial temporal artery and extends well past the posterior midline. The procedure is performed in the office. The "instant" and exceptionally dense hair which grows in patients with sparse, limited, and finely textured hair is a distinct advantage over the hair transplanted by punch autograft technique. Since the surgery involved is formidable, the patient must be highly motivated, well-informed and advised realistically about the results available with this procedure. A well-planned and properly executed TPO flap procedure is the best method for obtaining the density of hair and the appearance desired within the shortest time.
带毛发皮瓣的应用为患者提供了更多治疗秃发的矫正手术选择。我们更倾向使用的带毛发的轴型颞顶枕（TPO）皮瓣以颞浅动脉为蒂，延伸至后正中线以外。该手术在诊室进行。对于头发稀疏、有限且质地细腻的患者来说，这种皮瓣能长出“即时”且异常浓密的头发，这是相较于打孔自体移植技术移植的头发而言的一个明显优势。由于所涉及的手术难度较大，患者必须积极性很高、充分了解情况，并就该手术所能取得的效果得到切实可行的建议。精心规划并正确实施的TPO皮瓣手术是在最短时间内获得所需头发密度和外观的最佳方法。
