Yes, I think it is still unknown exactly what the "threshold" is for primary intention with "holes" healing.
We have tried everything under the sun to convert holes into slits, if you will (compression, elastic, sutures, staples...) We still do that when we are FIT-ing out FU's from old plugs in the recipient area, for instance. I personally think you have to get pretty small (probably more than is feasible) to have approximation across a dead space to mimic incisional primary intention healing.
You may well be right about punch size compromising viability. I keep forgetting to post those pix of "sheathing" etc, but I WILL do it!
BTW, I remember mention of preserving the epithelium for "plugging" the holes; does he still do it? Or was that approach abandoned?
