Senior Member Ali Emre Karadeniz Posted February 25, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted February 25, 2015 41 year old patient had a previous 3000 grafts FUE procedure at another clinic that did not give the expected yield. The donor density was significantly reduced due to the previous procedure. A 4604 grafts FUT+FUE combined procedure was performed. A 25x2 cm strip was excised and the wound closed with single layer staples using trichophytic. A 0.8 mm motorised sharp punch was used for FUE. Graft distribution: FUT 1:210 2:1457 3:1135 Total:2852 FUE 1:492 2:820 3:440 Total:1752 Total 1:702 2:2277 3:1575 Total:4604 Photos were taken before, immediately after and 6 months after surgery.

Senior Member Ali Emre Karadeniz Posted July 10, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 10, 2015 Thank you David, Sadbuttrue, Mick50, Johnboy71, Cant Decide for your input. I believe there are some situations when the Combo may be valuable. These may be; 1. When the donor capacity is reduced due to previous surgery. Due to pervious strip surgery, there may be little skin laxity to get a strip that is adequate and/or due to pervious FUE the donor density may be reduced. 2. Very high demand of grafts to achieve an acceptable coverage in high Norwoods. Although I now tend to prefer a large strip (4000-5000 grafts) to start with and leave FUE for later sessions. 3. When the patient comes in for FUE while asking for a scar repair. If a patient has a previous strip scar and comes in for a second procedure (usually FUE), I mention the possibility of a combo, which could improve the scar and give additional grafts at the same time; instead of doing only FUE and having to use some grafts on the scar.
