ť Hi marco,
ť
ť When this patient came to us we mused over the various options available;
ť initially we were looking at getting around 4000 from the strip and maybe
ť 2000 from FUE in the same procedure; but his hair characteristics allowed
ť 6000 from the strip the patient decided to leave it there and wait for the
ť regrowth.
ť
ť There is no problem combining the two techniques in "one session" if the
ť maximum potential wants to be achieved in minimum time, this would still
ť allow for another pass of FUT or FUE in the future; that said most prefer
ť to opt for one and then assess their future later. I posted a 3334 FUT
ť earlier on Hairsite, and the second procedure was just that 2000 FUT and
ť 500 FUE.Obviously care has to be taken when combining techniques, a safe
ť distance has to be kept between the suture line and the FUE extraction but
ť it is perfectly possible to do without causing excessive trauma to the
ť scalp, the patient or the grafts.
ť
ť Where we do find a great need of combining the techniques is in the case
ť of repairs and generally bad cases. The donor is severely impaired or the
ť positioning of the scars is counter productive to another large strip so
ť FUE is also used to maximise the graft numbers. This has the benefit to
ť use the FUT and FUE grafts in specific areas of the scalp to ensure
ť maximum yield. For example ridging and cobblestoning can lower the yield
ť because of the damage caused by incorrect slit making or placement; for
ť this you want strong grafts and as FUT grafts generally have more tissue
ť surrounding them they have a greater chance of a better yield.

Fascinating, we should revisit this as well as the other comments that you have just posted in a new thread. All very educational.
