The second edition of Hair Transplant 360: Volume 4 – Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a comprehensive illustrated guide to this minimally invasive procedure, which involves grafting genetically resistant hair follicles onto a bald scalp. This book, edited by Samuel M. Lam, from the Lam Institute for Hair Restoration in Texas, and Kenneth L. Williams Jr. from Orange County Hair Restoration in California, has been revised to reflect the advancements in hybrid-punch technology for FUE, which was introduced in 2017.

The first edition of this book, which was published in 2013, became outdated and required a significant revision. The new edition more than doubles the scope of the prior edition, with 60 chapters spread across two hardcover volumes.

The first volume, Basics, Operative Fundamentals, Practice Considerations, and Devices, updates and expands on the previous editions' sections. It is divided into four main sections:

Basics: This section provides an introduction to FUE and covers the basic principles, equipment, and techniques involved in the procedure.

Operative Fundamentals: This section delves into the technical aspects of FUE, including the preparation of the donor area, extraction of hair follicles, and implantation of the grafts.

Practice Considerations: This section discusses important considerations for practitioners, such as patient selection, surgical planning, and post-operative care.

Devices: This section showcases various devices and instruments used in FUE, such as punch tools, microscopes, and lasers.

The second volume, Concepts, Techniques, Adjunctive Measures, Regional and Ethnic, Complications and Repair, and How I Do It and Special Topics, is entirely new and provides a comprehensive overview of FUE. It is organized into six sections:

Concepts: This section introduces the fundamental concepts of FUE, including hair growth, hair anatomy, and the mechanisms of baldness.

Techniques: This section covers the various techniques used in FUE, such as manual extraction, automated extraction, and hybrid extraction.

Adjunctive Measures: This section discusses the use of adjunctive measures, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and minoxidil, in hair restoration.

Regional and Ethnic: This section focuses on the considerations specific to different regions and ethnicities, such as hair texture, density, and scalp characteristics.

Complications and Repair: This section addresses the potential complications and risks associated with FUE, as well as strategies for repairing any damage that may occur during the procedure.

How I Do It and Special Topics: This section provides insights into the personal experiences and approaches of experienced hair transplant surgeons, including their surgical techniques, patient selection criteria, and postoperative care.

In addition to the written content, this unique, comprehensive text includes over 100 videos that cover a range of subjects, showcasing operative technique, interviews, video lectures, and much more. These videos are easily accessible via a QR code embedded in each chapter, making it convenient for readers to explore the content in a multimedia format.

Furthermore, full digital access to the book is available on a mobile-responsive web browser, ensuring that readers can access the content on the go and from any device.

The second edition of Hair Transplant 360: Volume 4 – Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a valuable resource for hair transplant surgeons, dermatologists, and anyone interested in learning more about this minimally invasive procedure. With its extensive content, practical insights, and multimedia features, this book provides practical, up-to-date knowledge on FUE and helps practitioners achieve successful outcomes for their patients.
