Robot-assisted FUE

Robot-assisted FUE

This refers to the ARTAS system assisted by physician oversight. A tensioner device stabilizing the skin is placed on the target harvesting area. This also has peripheral markings providing data to the camera system in the robot head for calculating the angles, orientation, and direction of the hair units as they exit the scalp. Although fully automated, the physician can manually override most processes. ARTAS utilizes the blunt punch dissecting principle (Fig. 62-15).

Combining strip FUT and FUE can be considered to maximize the number of grafts obtained from a single procedure. The strip component can be done first and the grafts planted, followed by the FUE procedure avoiding harvesting inferior to the strip site due to risk of circulatory compromise. Generally this approach may increase the single surgery yield by up to 50%.
