The mons pubis: an excellent graft donor site in gynecologic surgery.

Split-thickness skin grafting has many applications in gynecologic surgery. Selection of the donor site is an aspect of the procedure that is very important for preventing highly visible lifelong scars. In this regard the mons pubis is an excellent choice as a donor site. Scar visibility is minimized by regrowth of the pubic hair. Another advantage is the anterior location of the mons, which allows for healing without constant pressure in patients who must remain supine in the postoperative period. Graft harvesting requires shaving the mons pubis and injecting saline solution into the subcutaneous tissue to elevate the skin and thus provide a firm flat base for dermatome application. Hair growth does not occur in the recipient site because the hair follicles are not harvested. Healing of both donor and recipient sites has been excellent with minimal discomfort during pubic hair regrowth. Thus it is recommended that the mons pubis be given serious consideration as a graft donor site in gynecologic surgery.

Treatment of the concrete scalp donor site.

The scalp has become a popular donor site for split-thickness skin, and few complications have been reported. However, we have been troubled by 5 patients in whom the donor site did not epithelialize but rather turned into dried granulation tissue with embedded growing hairs, a situation rather like concrete with steel reinforcing rods. The pathophysiology is not clear but seems to be related to thick grafts from hair-bearing areas. We treated the lesions by removing the granulation tissue, shaving the hair, and treating the wound as a new donor site. Four lesions healed with total or near total regrowth of hair, and one required a small skin graft.

A new apparatus for hair regrowth in male-pattern baldness.

A newly devised apparatus (Scalp-Tension-Relaxer, STR) can efficiently promote hair regrowth in patients with male-pattern baldness. When this apparatus is applied, the scalp is pushed up to relieve tension on the vertex. The efficacy rate of hair regrowth in alopecia patients was 40%. An investigation into the basis for the hair regrowth caused by this apparatus was directed toward the changes in hemodynamics and skin temperature of the scalp. During and after use of this apparatus, subjects exhibited an increase both in the cutaneous blood flow rate (as determined by laser Doppler flowmetry) and in the cutaneous temperature (as determined by thermography).
