Introduction of FUT hair transplantation

In 1992, Dr William Rassman started experimenting with (FUT) techniques to improve hair transplant technology to enable surgeons to perform hair transplants with large numbers of exceedingly small grafts in single surgeries. He studied at the Medical College of Virginia and later the University of Minnesota, doing a cardiovascular fellowship under Dr C.W. Lillehei, an American surgeon who pioneered open-heart surgery as well as numerous prostheses for cardiothoracic surgery.

In 1944, Alfred Blalock at Johns Hopkins University Hospital had begun successfully performing surgery on the great vessels around the heart to relieve the symptoms of tetralogy of Fallot, demonstrating that heart surgery could be possible. Lillehei participated in the first successful surgical repair of the heart on 2 September 1952. That historic operation, using hypothermia, was led by his long-time friend and colleague, F. John Lewis. Lillehei was a professor in the Department of Surgery at the University of Minnesota from 1951 to 1967.
 
FUT: The first big advantage is that full head shaving is unnecessary, as only the donor and recipient areas require exposure. This means the rest of your scalp does not need to be touched and can be covered post-procedure with a baseball-type cap. In FUT, you will be left with a permanent scar, which will always be visible if you ever shave your head. With FUT, transplantation of hair in naturally occurring individual follicular units was established. In 1995, he published a paper with colleague Robert M. Bernstein, defining a new hair restoration technique. In their landmark publication, Follicular Transplantation, Bernstein and Rassman state that hair transplantation should be performed using only naturally occurring, individual follicular units. The paper introduces the term ‘Follicular Unit’ to the field and describes both the technique and planning needed to get the best long-term aesthetic results. SOURCE:  Dr. Patrick Treacy
