Research & teaching
Work presented to the field
Ten appearances at annual meetings of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, covering density planning, painless anaesthesia and donor harvesting.
Why we publish the method
Technique that cannot survive questioning from other surgeons is not technique, it is marketing. The work behind FUT 2.0, the HUMS closure and the anaesthesia system has been presented to the field and argued over in public.
Recurring presentation themes
Density
Planning to coverage rather than graft count
Why two patients with identical graft counts finish with visibly different results, and how to quote a target that can be audited afterwards.
Anaesthesia
Achieving a genuinely painless field
Nerve block sequencing, buffering and needle technique that remove pain from the part of the day patients fear most.
Harvesting
Fourth-generation strip harvesting
Closure geometry and wound tension management that reduce the donor line to a fine, hair-covered scar.
Graft survival
Handling between harvest and placement
Dissection under magnification, holding solutions, temperature control and time-out-of-body discipline.
