The Journal of Dermatologic Surgery and Oncology

Abstract

The office procedure of creating tunnel grafts for attachment of hairpieces is not without complications. Early complications such as a hematoma under a graft, bacterial infection, and maceration of the epithelium lining the tunnels tended to be acute, but minor. Late complications, such as cutting in of the clips into the roofs of tunnels or stretching of the tunnel-graft roof, were mainly of a mechanical nature. Recommendations for reducing the indicence of such complications are made.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies
