BACKGROUND: @entity1665 encompasses a diverse group of disorders characterized by the permanent destruction of hair follicles and irreversible hair loss. Follicular unit transplantation was developed in 1994. However, large-scale clinical trials are necessary to study follicular unit transplantation for treating Chinese @entity1665 @entity1 . OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy of follicular unit transplantation in the treatment of @entity1665 in Chinese @entity1 . METHODS: @entity1 with @entity1665 were enrolled. The designated recipient area, follicular unit density of the donor site, transplanted density and operative time were recorded. Postoperative follow-up was conducted within six to 24 months; the density of hair in the recipient area was calculated using a Folliscope (Hansderma Co, USA). @entity1 ' self-reported satisfaction and long-term complications were recorded. RESULTS: Thirty-seven @entity1 were enrolled. @entity1665 was caused by burns (n=8), @entity130 (n=21) and plastic surgery ( @entity3384 repair [n=8]). @entity4808 @entity1 had a significantly larger bald area than the other @entity1 (P<0.01). The operative time was significantly correlated with recipient area. The longest operation was 14.5 h; the largest transplanted area was 96 cm(2). At follow-up, the surviving follicular unit density/transplanted follicular unit density rate was 64.29% to 95.00% (mean 78.96%); the surviving/transplanted ( @entity41108 ) area was 100% for 30 @entity1 , 90% to 100% for five @entity1 and <90% for two @entity1 . The lowest S/T area was 82.81%. The S/T index was significantly and inversely correlated with operative time. Regarding long-term complications, two @entity1 had postoperative epidermoid cysts that healed with local treatment. CONCLUSION: Follicular unit transplantation is an effective method for treating @entity1665 . It is relatively safe and yields satisfactory postoperative results. Extending the results of the present study to Chinese clinical practice is warranted.
