In this method a strip of skin is taken from the posterior part of the scalp, in an area of good hair growth. This is then taken and harvested in a petridish containing normal saline and the grafts are seperated. The recipient area is dermabraded and the grafts are inserted into the recipient area. Patient is advised to come back after 2 weeks for suture removal. The angles of the hair growth are noted and small incisions at a time are given in these directions, gentle sharp dissection is done to ensure near 100% grafts survival on both the sides. This allows greater number of graft harvests, and preservation of grafts on the donor area, allowing a virtually invisible scar.
